Abstract

Behavior of pions in nuclear matter is different from that of free pions due to strong interactions with nuclear-particles. The modified pion propagator and pion-nucleon coupling are calculated in this paper with the static approximation for nucleons. It is expected that the pion mass is decreased in the nucleus by about 15 Mev and the coupling constant is increased by 15 percent. Implication of these results is discussed.
