Binding Energy of Nuclear Matter in Terms of QCD Condensates

Abstract

We calculate the nucleon parameters – the effective mass $$m{\text{*}}$$ , vector self energy $${{\Sigma }_{V}}$$ and the binding energy per nucleon $$\mathfrak{P}$$ in terms of QCD condensates. We study the equilibrium states of the matter. We employ the QCD sum rules approach. Including the condensates with d = 6 we find equilibrium states of nuclear matter for $${{{\sigma }}_{N}} > 41$$ MeV. The equilibrium is due to influence of the relativistic motion of nucleons on the scalar quark condensate.
