Contribution

It introduces a holographic QCD approach to model nuclear binding energy saturation through a shell-model-like mean-field potential.

Findings

Estimated binding energy is close to experimental values.

Holographic multi-baryon theory effectively models nuclear density profiles.

Provides a new theoretical framework for nuclear binding energy analysis.

Abstract

Saturation of the nuclear binding energy is one of the most important properties of atomic nuclei. We derive the saturation in holographic QCD, by building a shell-model-like mean-field nuclear potential from the nuclear density profile obtained in a holographic multi-baryon effective theory. The numerically estimated binding energy is close to the experimental value.
