Bl. Birbrair et al., LOW-ENERGY PION-NUCLEUS POTENTIAL IN THE EXTENDED TREE-LEVEL MODEL FOR THE PION-NUCLEON INTERACTION, ZEITSCHRIFT FUR PHYSIK A-HADRONS AND NUCLEI, 355(4), 1996, pp. 427-432
Starting from the extended tree-level model for the pi N interaction [
1] (hereafter ETLM) we demonstrated that the observed local pion-nucle
us repulsion arises from the reduction of baryon masses in nucleus due
to strong scalar nuclear field [2]. This is rather convincing argumen
t in favour of nuclear relativism because such repulsion has no explan
ation within the traditional nonrelativistic approach to nucleus.
