  • Article: Single-{\Lambda} Hypernuclei in the Relativistic Mean-Field Theory with parameter set FSU
    [show abstract] [hide abstract]
    ABSTRACT: In this work, we conduct a study on the properties of single-{\Lambda} hypernuclei in the relativistic mean-field theory with the parameter set FSU, where the isoscalar-isovector coupling has been included to soften the symmetry energy. In our model, a tensor coupling between {\omega} and {\Lambda} is employed, which is found to be essential in obtaining the small spin-orbit interaction in single-{\Lambda} hypernuclei. Our calculated values of {\Lambda} single-particle energies are in good agreement with the known experimental data. As a comparison to other existing parameter sets, calculations are also carried out by using parameterizaions such as NL3 and NL3*. The results show that the parameter set FSU is as successful as those of NL3 and NL3* in terms of reproducing the properties of single-{\Lambda} hypernuclei.

  • Article: Hypernclear in the improved quark mass density- dependent model
    [show abstract] [hide abstract]
    ABSTRACT: The improved quark mass density- dependent model, which has been successfully used to describe the properties of both finite nuclei and bulk nuclear matter, is extended to include the strange quark. The parameters of the model are determined by the saturation properties of bulk matter. Then the given parameter set is employed to investigate both the properties of strange hadronic matter and those of $\Lambda$ hypernuclei. Bulk strange hadronic matter consisting of nucleons, $\Lambda$- hyperons and $\Xi$- hyperons is studied under mean-field approximation. Among others, density dependence of the effective baryon mass, saturation properties and stability of the physical system are discussed. For single-$\Lambda$ hypernuclei, single particle energies of $\Lambda$ hyperon is evaluated. In particular, it is found that the present model produces a small spin-orbit interaction, which is in agreement with the experimental observations. The above results show that the present model can consistently describe the properties of strange hadronic matter, as well as those of single $\Lambda$ hypernuclei within an uniform parameterization.

    Article: Quark deconfinement phase transition in nuclear matter for improved quark mass density-dependent model
    [show abstract] [hide abstract]
    ABSTRACT: The improved quark mass density-dependent (IQMDD) model, which has been successfully used to describe the properties of both infinite nuclear matter and finite nuclei, is applied to investigate the properties of quark deconfinement phase transition. By using the finite-temperature quantum field theory, we calculate the finite temperature effective potential and extend the IQMDD model to finite temperature and finite nuclear matter density. The critical temperature and the critical density of nuclear matter are given and the QCD phase diagram is addressed. It is shown that this model can not only describe the saturation properties of nuclear matter, but also explain the quark deconfinement phase transition successfully.

  • Article: Liquid-gas phase transition in hot asymmetric nuclear matter
    Chen Wu, Zhongzhou Ren
    [show abstract] [hide abstract]
    ABSTRACT: We use a density-dependent relativistic mean field model to study the properties of nuclear systems at finite temperature. The liquid-gas phase transition of symmetric and asymmetric nuclear matter is discussed. A limiting pressure plim for hot asymmetric nuclear matter has been found because of the density dependence of the nucleon–nucleon–ρ meson coupling. It is found that the liquid-gas phase transition cannot take place if p>plim. The binodal surface for this model is addressed. In addition, we calculated the asymmetry parameter dependence of the critical temperature.

  • Article: Strange hadronic stars in relativistic mean-field theory with the FSUGold parameter set
    Chen Wu, Zhongzhou Ren
    [show abstract] [hide abstract]
    ABSTRACT: Relativistic mean-field theory with parameter set FSUGold that includes the isoscalar-isovector cross interaction term is extended to study the properties of neutron star matter in β equilibrium by including hyperons. The influence of the attractive and repulsive Σ potential on the properties of neutron star matter and the maximum mass of neutron stars is examined. We also investigate the equations of state for pure neutron matter and for nonstrange hadronic matter for comparison. For a pure neutron star, the maximum mass is about 1.8Msun, while for a strange (nonstrange) hadronic star in β equilibrium, the maximum mass is around 1.35Msun (1.7Msun).

  • Article: Study of finite nuclei in the improved quark mass density-dependent model
    Chen Wu, Zhongzhou Ren
    [show abstract] [hide abstract]
    ABSTRACT: The improved quark mass density-dependent model is applied to study the properties of finite nuclei. After fixing all the parameters by nuclear matter properties, we use this model to investigate the properties of doubly magic nuclei from 16O to 208Pb. In addition, it is the first time that relativistic mean field theory based on quark and meson degrees of freedom is applied to study the ground-state properties of the chain of isotope. The calculated binding energies, charge radii and separation energies agree with the available experimental data. It has been shown that our model can describe the properties of spherical finite nuclei successfully.

  • Article: Improved quark mass density-dependent model with quark and nonlinear scalar field coupling
    [show abstract] [hide abstract]
    ABSTRACT: An improved quark mass density-dependent model that includes the coupling between the quarks and a nonlinear scalar field is presented. A numerical analysis of solutions of the model is performed over a wide range of parameters. The wave functions of the ground state and the lowest one-particle excited states with even and odd parities are given. The root-mean-squared radius, the magnetic moment, and the ratio between the axial-vector and the vector β-decay coupling constants of the nucleon are calculated. We found that the presented model is successful in describing the properties of the nucleon.
