The physics of strongly interacting many-body systems known as nuclear physics is a mature discipline which has achieved a remarkably quantitative success. It has explained with an impressive accuracy the properties of nuclei from the deuteron to heavy nuclei containing several hundreds of nucleons. This is the more remarkable when one realizes that in no way did the success depend on the existence of, or knowledge derived from, the fundamental theory of strong interactions now believed to be quantum chromodynamics (QCD).This monograph is a first, albeit embryonic, attempt to explain how a nucleus can be understood without invoking the explicit degrees of freedom of quarks and gluons while still staying within the basic premise of QCD and furthermore why do quark-gluon signatures not show up prominently in nuclear processes, including those processes involving short-distance encounters within nuclei. Such an understanding is largely based on the modern concepts of broken chiral symmetry and is believed to be essential in uncovering new physics expected to figure in the hadronic environment under extreme conditions of high temperature and/or high density.
Part 1 QCD vacuum: QCD vacuum as a magnetic medium; monopoles, harons and confinement; instantons and chiral symmetry. Part 2 Chiral QCD - mesons: the large Nc limit; aspects of current algebra; effective Lagrangians; soft pion physics; vector mesons - open and hidden. Part 3 Chiral QCD-baryons: Wess-Zumino-Witten term; Berry phases, spin factors; skyrmions; Cheshire cat mechanism; chiral spin systems; anyons. Part 4 Chiral QCD - nuclei: nuclear forces; exchange currents; nuclei from skyrmions. Part 5 Chiral symmetry breaking and strangeness: piN sigma term; the proton spin problem; strangeness in the nucleon; strange matter; heavy flavour systems. Part 6 Hadronic matter under extreme conditions: hot matter; RHIC; dense matter; neutron stars.
