Medium-modified Microscopic Foundation for density-dependent interactions Can such interactions provide a good description of nuclear systems? J.W. Holt
Chiral Effective Theories (e.g. Hidden Local Symmetry) (1) Finite nuclei (2) Nuclear matter (3) Hot/dense matter Double Decimation Describe in a unified way G. Brown and M. Rho, Phys. Rept. 396 (2004) Chiral decimation QCD Match T and dependence with QCD Sum Rule correlation functions Fermi liquid decimation EFT with intrinsic T and dependence Low-momentum interaction Traditional OBE potentials (e.g. Bonn, Nijmegen, etc.) Introduce medium modifications “by hand” J.W. Holt

Outline of Results • Nuclear matter • Easier than finite nuclei (only one density) • Saturation (E/A, kF, K ) • Hartree-Fock (preliminary) • Ring diagram expansion (preliminary) • Fermi liquid theory [JWH et al., NPA 785 (2007) 322.] • Finite nuclei • Diminishing tensor force • Beta decay of 14C J.W. Holt

Finite nuclei Decreasing tensor force necessary! • Decay of 14C • 0– T=1 and 0– T=0 splitting in 16O • E2 and M1 moments of 6Li Traditional many-body effects or novel scaling mechanism? J.W. Holt
