Abstract

Even small departures from a nuclear equilibrium density with constant nucleon masses require an increase of a nucleon enthalpy. This process can be described as volume corrections to a nucleon rest energy, which are proportional to pressure and absent in a standard Relativistic Mean Field (RMF) with point-like nucleons. Bag model and RMF calculations show the modifications of nucleon mass, nucleon radius and a Parton Distribution Function (PDF) of Nuclear Matter (NM) above the saturation point originated from the pressure correction.

Highlights

  • The finite size correction to the nucleon rest energy connected with the nucleon volume ΩN will be investigated in the compressed nuclear matter (NM) at the pressure p

  • The nucleon mass is a result of strong interaction between almost massless quarks and gluons

  • The deep inelastic phenomenology indicates that a change of the nucleon invariant mass at the saturation density in comparison to the value in vacuum is rather negligible nuclear scalar and vector mean fields are strong [4]

Summary

Introduction

The finite size correction to the nucleon rest energy connected with the nucleon volume ΩN will be investigated in the compressed nuclear matter (NM) at the pressure p. It will involve functional corrections to a nucleon rest energy, dependent from external pressure with a physical parameter - a nucleon radius R0.
