Abstract

Soliton models based on the linear σ-model fail to describe nuclear matter already at ρ ∼ ρ0 due to the restrictions on the scalar field dynamics imposed by the Mexican hat potential. To overcome this problem we used a chiral Lagrangian, including a logarithmic potential associated with the breaking of scale invariance, based on quarks interacting with chiral fields, σ and π, and with vector mesons. Using the Wigner-Seitz approximation to mimic a dense system, we show that the model admits stable solitonic solutions at higher densities with respect to the linear-σ model and that the introduction of vector mesons allows to obtain saturation. This result has never been obtained before in similar approaches.
