Phase transition from hadronic matter to quark matter
We study the phase transition from two-flavor nuclear matter to quark matter. A mean field model, constructed at the quark level, is used to give the equation of state for nuclear matter, while the equation of state for color superconducting quark matter is calculated within the NJL model. It is found that at low temperature, the phase transition from nuclear to color superconducting quark matter will take place when the density is of order 2.5{rho}{sub 0}-5{rho}{sub 0}. At zero density, the quark phase will appear when the temperature is larger than about 148 MeV. Within the mean field treatment, the phase transition from nuclear matter to quark matter is always first order, whereas the transition between color superconducting quark matter and normal quark matter is second order.

title: Nucleon magnetic form factors with non-local chiral effective Lagrangian
abstract: Chiral perturbation theory is a useful method to investigate the hadron properties. We apply the non-local chiral effective Lagrangian to study the nucleon magnetic form factors. The octet and decuplet intermediate states are included in the one-loop calculation. With the modified propagators and non-local interaction, the loop integral is convergent. The obtained proton and neutron magnetic form factors are both reasonable up to relatively large Q2.

title: Static three-body potential in baryons
abstract: The first principle of quantum chromodynamics is used to calculate the static perturbative three-body potential between three valence quarks in baryons, which is gauge invariant and flavor-dependent, and of magnitude of the same order as the next non-leading static q-q potential. Its effect on an S-state baryon composed of three valence quarks of equal mass may be viewed as a slight increase of the constituent quark masses with respect to those in mesons.

title: An Extended Chiral SU(3) Quark Model
abstract: The chiral SU(3) quark model is extended by including the vector meson exchanges to describe the short range interactions. The phase shifts of NN scattering are studied in this model. Compared with the results of the chiral SU(3) quark model in which only the pseudo-scalar and scalar chiral fields are considered, the phase shifts of 1S0 wave are obviously improved.

title: Chiral symmetry restoration of nuclear matter
abstract: The phase transition of chiral symmetry restoration of nuclear matter is studied in the chiral SU(3) quark mean field model. For some kinds of confining potentials, there exists a critical density ρc. When the baryon density is larger than ρc, nuclear matter will be in the phase of chiral symmetry restoration. At critical density, the physical quantities change discontinuously. The critical density will become larger when the vector part of the confining potential increases.

title: Strange hadronic matter in a chiral model
abstract: The strange hadronic matter with nucleon, Λ-hyperon and Ξ-hyperon is studied by using a chiral symmetry model in a mean-field approximation. The saturation properties and stabilities of the strange hadronic matter are discussed. The result indicates a quite large strangeness fraction (fS) region where the strange hadronic matter is stable against particle emission. In the large fS region, the Ξ component dominates, resulting in a deep minimum in the curve of the binding energy per baryon EB versus the strangeness fraction fS with (EB, fS) (-26.0 MeV, 1.23).

title: NN interactions in the extended chiral SU(3) quark model
abstract: The chiral SU (3) quark model is extended to include coupling between vector chiral field and quarks. By using this model, the phase shifts of NN scattering for different partial waves are studied. The results are very similar to those of the chiral SU (3) quark model calculation, in which one gluon exchange (OGE) plays dominate role in the short range part of the quark–quark interactions. Only in the 1 S 0 case, the one channel phase shifts of the extended chiral SU (3) quark model are obviously improved.

title: Asymmetric nuclear matter at finite temperature and density
abstract: Asymmetric nuclear matter is studied by using an effective nuclear model in a mean-field approximation. The density, temperature, and asymmetric parameter dependence of the effective baryon mass is discussed. The liquid-gas phase transition of a system with two independent conserved charges (baryon number and isospin) is studied using the stability conditions on the free energy and Gibbs conditions for phase equilibrium. The critical temperature is calculated with and without $\ensuremath{\rho}$ meson contribution, respectively.
