Pions in relativistic nuclear field theories

Creators

Description

The saturation of nuclear matter is studied using a Lagrangian with a partially conserved axial vector current (PCAC). We present the results of a first calculation in which the standard mean field approximation, as augmented by the pionic ring series, achieves saturation with pionic effects supplying the main attraction. The scalar field (/phi/) effects are small, so that the resulting value of M - gπ is close to the nucleon mass, M. Effects of the medium on vacuum polarization are thereby suppressed. 18 refs., 3 figs
