Effect of Meson Cloud of Nucleon on Nuclear Matter Saturation

We investigate the effect of the meson cloud of nucleon on saturation properties of nuclear matter. Quantum correction to the scalar and vector potentials in the Walecka model is taken into account. It leads to the renormalized wave function of a nucleon in the medium, or the dressed nucleon by the meson cloud. Consequently, the NN-sigma and NN-omega coupling constants are renormalized. The renormalization constant can be related to the anomalous magnetic moment. The resultant renormalized Walecka model is able to reproduce nuclear matter saturation properties well.
