A Green's function method for hadrons in nuclei

Hadrons in Nuclei

Changes of hadronic properties in dense nuclear matter as predicted by theory have usually been investigated by means of relativistic heavy-ion reactions. In this talk I show that observable consequences of such changes can also be seen in more elementary reactions on nuclei. Particular emphasis is put on a discussion of photonuclear reactions; examples are the dilepton production at ≈ 1 GeV an...

EPJ A Hadrons and Nuclei

In the context of the Hagedorn temperature half-centenary I describe our understanding of the hot phases of hadronic matter both below and above the Hagedorn temperature. The first part of the review addresses many frequently posed questions about properties of hadronic matter in different phases, phase transition and the exploration of quark-gluon plasma (QGP). The historical context of the di...

EPJ A Hadrons and Nuclei

We work out a superstatistical description of high-energy scattering processes that takes into account temperature fluctuations in small-volume elements. For Γ -distributed fluctuations of the inverse temperature one effectively obtains a generalized statistical mechanics of Tsallis type, whereas for other temperature distributions more general superstatistical models arise. We consider two mai...

Effective Field Theories for Hadrons and Nuclei

Hadron structure and nuclear structure are discussed from the common ground of effective chiral Lagrangians modeling QCD at low energy. The topics treated are the chiral bag model in large Nc QCD, its connection to heavy-baryon chiral perturbation theory (HBχPT), the role of nonabelian Berry gauge connections for baryon excitations and the application of HBχPT to the thermal n+p → d+γ process a...
