Quark-Hadron Duality and the Nuclear EMC Effect
نویسندگان
چکیده
Recent data on polarized proton knockout reactions off He nuclei suggest a small but nonzero modification of proton electromagnetic form factors in medium. Using model independent relations derived on the basis of quarkhadron duality, we relate the medium modification of the form factors to the modification at large x of the deep-inelastic structure function of a bound proton. This places strong constraints on models of the nuclear EMC effect which assume a large deformation of the intrinsic structure of the nucleon in

Effect of bound nucleon internal structure change on nuclear structure functions
Effect of bound nucleon internal structure change on nuclear structure functions is investigated based on local quark-hadron duality. The bound nucleon structure functions calculated for charged-lepton and (anti)neutrino scattering are all enhanced in symmetric nuclear matter at large Bjorken-x (x ∼ 0.85) relative to those in a free nucleon. This implies that a part of the enhancement observed ...
متن کاملQuark-Hadron Duality in Electron Scattering
Quark-hadron duality addresses some of the most fundamental issues in strong interaction physics, in particular the nature of the transition from the perturbative to non-perturbative regions of QCD. I summarize recent developments in quark-hadron duality in lepton–hadron scattering, and outline how duality can be studied at future high-luminosity facilities such as Jefferson Lab at 12 GeV or an...
متن کاملQuenching of hadron spectra in DIS on nuclear targets
The multiple scatterings incurred by a hard quark produced in a nuclear medium induce the emission of soft gluons which carry a fraction of the quark energy and eventually affect the hadronization process. Here, the depletion of semi-inclusive hadron spectra in DIS on various nuclei (N, Ne, Cu, Kr) is computed as a function of ν and z to leading order in αs through medium-modified fragmentation...
متن کاملHypercentral Constituent Quark Model and Isospin for the Baryon Static Properties
So far the static properties of hadrons have been introduced in various models. The static properties of hadrons (charge radius, magnetic moment, etc.) are useful for understanding the quark structure of hadron. In this work we have introduced the hypercentral constituent quark and isospin dependent potentials. Here constituent quarks interact with each other via a potential in which we have ta...
متن کاملHow quark hadron duality in QCD may work
We pursue the issue of the local quark-hadron duality at high energies in twoand four-dimensional QCD. A mechanism of the dynamical realization of the quark-hadron duality in two-dimensional QCD in the limit of large number of colors, Nc → ∞, (the ’ t Hooft model) is investigated. We argue that a similar mechanism of dynamical smearing may be relevant in four-dimensional QCD. Although particula...
