The Peierls-Yoccoz projection method is used to study the motion of a relativistic system of nucleons interacting with sigma and omega mesons. The nuclear system is described in a mean-field Hartree approach, including explicitly the meson contribution and the formalism is applied to some selected N=Z spherical nuclei. The center-of-mass motion correction makes the system too much bounded, but we show that an appropriate refitting of the model brings the radii and binding energies close to the experimental values.

The existing experimental data for the deuteron charge radius are discussed. The data of elastic electron scattering are inconsistent with the value obtained in a recent atomic physics experiment. Theoretical predictions based on a nonrelativistic description of the deuteron with realistic nucleon-nucleon potentials and with a rather complete set of meson-exchange contributions to the charge operator are presented. Corrections arising from the quark-gluon substructure of the nucleon are explored in a nonrelativistic quark model; the quark-gluon corrections, not accounted for by meson exchange, are small. Our prediction for the deuteron charge radius favors the value of a recent atomic physics experiment.
We present an extension of a previous work where, assuming a simple free bosonic gas supplemented with a relativistic meand field model to describe the pure nucleonic part of the EoS, we studied the consequences that the first non-trivial hexaquark $d^*$(2380) could have on the properties of neutron stars. Compared to that exploratory work we employ a standard non-linear Walecka model including additional terms that describe the interaction of the $d^*(2380)$ di-baryon with the other particles of the system through the exchange of $sigma$- and $omega$-meson fields. Our results have show that the presence of the $d^*(2380)$ leads to maximum masses compatible with the recent observations of $sim 2$M$_odot$ millisecond pulsars if the interaction of the $d^*(2380)$ is slightly repulsive or the $d^*(2380)$ does not interacts at all. An attractive interaction makes the equation of state too soft to be able to support a $2$M$_odot$ neutron star whereas an extremely repulsive one induces the collapse of the neutron star into a black hole as soon as the $d^*(2380)$ appears.
We investigate transverse hadron spectra from relativistic nucleus-nucleus collisions which reflect important aspects of the dynamics - such as the generation of pressure - in the hot and dense zone formed in the early phase of the reaction. Our analysis is performed within two independent transport approaches (HSD and UrQMD) that are based on quark, diquark, string and hadronic degrees of freedom. Both transport models show their reliability for elementary $pp$ as well as light-ion (C+C, Si+Si) reactions. However, for central Au+Au (Pb+Pb) collisions at bombarding energies above $sim$ 5 A$cdot$GeV the measured $K^{pm}$ transverse mass spectra have a larger inverse slope parameter than expected from the calculation. Thus the pressure generated by hadronic interactions in the transport models above $sim$ 5 A$cdot$GeV is lower than observed in the experimental data. This finding shows that the additional pressure - as expected from lattice QCD calculations at finite quark chemical potential and temperature - is generated by strong partonic interactions in the early phase of central Au+Au (Pb+Pb) collisions.
The Parton-Hadron-String-Dynamics (PHSD) transport model is used to study the impact on the choice of initial degrees of freedom on the final hadronic and electromagnetic observables in Au+Au collisions at $sqrt{s_{NN}}$ = 200 GeV. We find that a non-perturbative system of massive gluons (scenario I) and a system dominated by quarks and antiquarks (scenario II) lead to different hadronic observables when imposing the same initial energy-momentum tensor $T_{mu u}(x)$ just after the passage of the impinging nuclei. In case of the gluonic initial condition the formation of $s,{bar s}$ pairs in the QGP proceeds rather slow such that the anti-strange quarks and accordingly the $K^+$ mesons do not achieve chemical equilibrium even in central Au+Au collisions at $sqrt{s_{NN}}$ = 200 GeV. Accordingly, the $K^+$ rapidity distribution is suppressed in the gluonic scenario and in conflict with the data from the BRAHMS Collaboration. The proton and antiproton rapidity distributions also disfavor the scenario I. Furthermore, a clear suppression of direct photon and dilepton production is found for the pure gluonic initial conditions which is not so clearly seen in the present photon and dilepton spectra from Au+Au collisions at $sqrt{s_{NN}}$ = 200 GeV due to a large contribution from other channels. It is argued that dilepton spectra in the invariant mass range 1.2 GeV $< M <$ 3 GeV will provide a definitive answer once the background from correlated $D$-meson decays is subtracted experimentally.
Brueckner-Hartree-Fock theory allows to derive the $G$-matrix as an effective interaction between nucleons in the nuclear medium. It depends on the center of mass momentum $bm{P}$ of the two particles and on the two relative momenta $bm{q}$ and $bm{q}$ before and after the scattering process. In the evaluation of the total energy per particle in nuclear matter usually the angle averaged center of mass momentum approximation has been used. We derive in detail the exact expressions of the angular integrations of the momentum $bm{P}$ within relativistic Brueckner-Hartree-Fock (RBHF) theory, especially for the case of asymmetric nuclear matter. In order to assess the reliability of the conventional average momentum approximation for the binding energy, the saturation properties of symmetric and asymmetric nuclear matter are systematically investigated based on the realistic Bonn nucleon-nucleon potential. It is found that the exact treatment of the center of mass momentum leads to non-negligible contributions to the higher order physical quantities. The correlation between the symmetry energy $E_{mathrm{sym}}$, the slope parameter $L$, and the curvature $K_{mathrm{sym}}$ of the symmetry energy are investigated. The results of our RBHF calculations for the bulk parameters characterizing the equation of state are compared with recent constraints extracted from giant monopole resonance and isospin diffusion experiments.
