Abstract

We discuss the quantum chromodynamically motivated color-dielectric model originally proposed by Nielsen and Patkos and show, using some straightforward approximations, that it can lead to charge-symmetry breaking effects in nuclei. We then show, using a local density approximation and standard nuclear structure properties, that for suitable choices of parameters this color-dielectric model can explain the Nolen-Schiffer anomaly.
