III.—The Principle of Saturation in Petrography

Is Quark Saturation Related to the Pauli Principle ? ∗

Below the saturation momentum the sea quark occupation number reaches a pure number, independent of any parameters in QCD, reminiscent of a Pauli Principle result. We argue, however, that the Pauli Principle plays no role in this result.

Department of Mineralogy , Petrography and Geochemistry

Department of Mineralogy, Petrography and Geochemistry is the oldest Earth science department at the AGH University of Science and Technology. It was created in 1919 as one of the first six departments of the Academy of Mining and was initially named as the Department of Mineralogy and Petrography. The Department was organized by Professor Józef Morozewicz (1865–1941) who chaired the Organizing...

The Petrography of Meteoritic Nano-diamonds

Introduction: At least some meteoritic nano-diamonds are likely of presolar origin because of their association with anomalous Xe-HL and Te isotopic components indicative of a supernova (SN) origin [1,2]. But the abundance of Xe is such that only ~1 in 10 6 nano-diamonds contains a Xe atom, and the bulk 13 C/ 12 C composition of nano-diamond acid residues is chondritic (solar) [3]. Therefore, i...

The Apollo 16 Mare Component : Petrography

Petrography and Chemistry of Impact-melt Clasts in Apollo

Introduction: The preponderance of 3.9 Ga lunar impact-melt rock ages and the dearth of older samples of unequivocal impact origin, from either the Apollo collection or lunar meteorites, suggest an extraordinary bombardment event in the Earth-Moon system at ~3.9 Ga. We have begun to study another set of samples, impact melts and crystalline lunar spherules (CLS) within demonstrably old Apollo b...
