Quark-parton model of nuclear production

Abstract

We propose a quark-parton model of a nucleus viewed in a high-momentum frame. We use it to calculate deepinelastic lepton scattering, lepton pair production, W-boson production, particle production at large x and small p,, and cumulative production of particles at backward angles in high-energy hadron-nucleus collisions. Predictions are compared with experimental data. Good agreement between theory and experiment is demonstrated.

“…However, one can expect that the densities of CBCs are high enough to modify the structure of underlying nucleon constituents. At short internucleon distances, nucleons can lose their identities and form multiquark configurations [3], [6], [7], or multinucleon quark clusters [8]. Studying the CBCs provides information on the features of the nuclear structure at small-distance scales as well as on the equation of state of a cold and dense matter.…”

The deuteron in high-energy physics

“…III.A that at least the cumulative production is better explored'with heav- ier nuclear targets. It has been shown by Takagi (1979b), and later by Berlad, Dar, and Eilam (1979) that the CTM fits the data. of Baldin ef al.…”

Muon Scattering

“…The results of various calculations (90)(91)(92), differing in detail, for instance, by the ansatz for the wave functions of the two nuclei or on assumptions about the high momentum tail or the momentum balance, are collected in Figure 1 7. Despite some significant differences all curves show a strong increase of the ratio above unity for x > 0.5.…”
