The -Meson Mass and the Nucleon Size in Nuclei

Abstract
Modification of the nucleon size in nuclear medium is discussed in terms of the ω-meson mass. Vacuum polarization changes the ω-meson mass in nuclear medium and modifies the mean square change radius of the proton by 3(1/mω*2-1/mω2), where mω* and mω denote the ω-meson mass in nuclear medium and in free space, respectively.
