F. Dejong et R. Malfliet, INFLUENCE OF THE DELTA-DELTA-MESON COUPLING ON NUCLEON AND DELTA PROPERTIES IN NUCLEAR-MATTER, Physical review. C. Nuclear physics, 49(3), 1994, pp. 1709-1714
We introduce a scalar and a vector DELTADELTA-meson vertex in the rela
tivistic Dirac-Brueckner model for nuclear matter and investigate the
consequences. We find small effects on the effective nucleon propertie
s. The effects in the DELTA sector are more profound, although the DEL
TA is still effectively repelled out of the medium.
