Description

I would like to discuss pseudoscalar mesons, especially pion, in a context of partial restoration of chiral symmetry in nuclear medium. First of all, I show a general relation between the in-medium quark condensate and hadronic quantities in nuclear medium. With this relation, we can confirm that partial restoration of chiral symmetry takes place in nuclei based on experimental observations of deeply bound pionic atom states. I would like to discuss briefly also kaonic few body systems, in which kaons and nucleons form quasibound states. Finding similarity between the interactions antikaon-kaon and antikaon-nucleon, we see systematics of three-body systems of antikaons, kaons and nucleons.
