The physics of atomic nuclei.

effective field theories of nuclear physics, hence for confined-phase quantum chromodynamics:

• with effective ligh meson fields:

  • chiral perturbation theory

    • vector meson dominance

    • hidden local symmetry

  • with emergent (solitonic) baryon fields:

    • quark bag model

    • Skyrme model

    • Witten-Sakai-Sugimoto model

  • with explicit effective baryon fields:

    • baryon chiral perturbation theory

    • quantum hadrodynamics

      • Walecka model

  • with explicit quark fields:

    • quark-meson coupling model
