Krein, G.2014-05-202014-05-202003-11-01European Physical Journal A. New York: Springer-verlag, v. 18, n. 2-3, p. 511-513, 2003.1434-6001http://hdl.handle.net/11449/23788Chiral-symmetry restoration is usually discussed in the context of quark matter, a system of deconfined quarks. However, many systems like stable nuclei and neutron stars have quarks confined within nucleons. In the present paper we use a Fermi sea of three-quark clusters instead of a Fermi sea of deconfined quarks to investigate the in-medium quark condensate. We find that an enhancement of the chiral breaking in clustered matter as claimed in the literature is not a consequence of the clustering but rather dependent on the microscopic model dynamics.511-513engArtigo10.1140/epja/i2002-10272-8WOS:000186890000089Acesso restrito
