Abstract
We present a model of baryonic matter which contains free constituent quark s in addition to bound constituent quarks in nucleons. In addition to the c ommon linear sigma-model we include the exchange of vector-mesons. The perc entage of free quarks increases with baryon density and the nucleons resist a restoration of chiral symmetry. (C) 2000 Published by Elsevier Science B .V. All rights reserved.
