New mean field theory with the parity and charge mixing for the pion in nuclei

Abstract

We give a brief review on the important role of the pion-exchange interaction characterized by the strong tensor force. In order to illustrate the role of the pion, we have proposed a new mean field theory with the charge and parity mixing, by which the pion is treated explicitly in the mean field framework. We introduce the essence of the new mean field theory and illustrate the calculated results of the pion (tensor force) correlation by taking the alpha particle as an example.
