The plasma focus device discussed herein is a Z-pinch pulsed-plasma arrangement. In this, the plasma is heated and compressed into a cylindrical column, producing a typical density of > 1025 particles/m3 and a temperature of (1-3) × 107 oC. The plasma focus has been widely investigated as a radiation source, including as ion-beams, electron-beams and as a source of x-ray and neutron production,...

Using the recent empirical information on the deuteron electromagnetic form factors we map out the transverse charge density in the deuteron as viewed from a light front moving towards the deuteron. The charge densities for a transversely polarized deuteron are characterized by monopole, dipole and quadrupole patterns.

We discuss a recent computation of Compton scattering on the deuteron at photon energies of order the pion mass. An interaction kernel is computed in baryon chiral perturbation theory and sewn to phenomenological deuteron wave functions. As an appetizer, we consider a computation of the pion-deuteron scattering length using this method.

We study the transverse momentum spectra of light nuclei (deuteron, anti-deuteron and triton) produced in Gold-Gold (Au-Au) collisions different centrality bins by blast wave model with Tsallis statistics. The results are agreement experimental data measured STAR Collaboration special ranges. extracted kinetic freezeout temperature, flow velocity volume. It is observed that temperature increase...

We calculate nuclear shadowing in lepton-deuteron deep inelastic scattering, which arises from the double scattering of the virtual photon from both nucleons in the deuteron. The total correction to the deuteron structure function is found to be < ∼ 1% at small x, but dependent on the model deuteron wavefunction. The resulting increase in the corrected neutron structure function is ∼ 1 − 2% for...

Employing the polarization degrees of freedom in the deuteron allows to isolate smaller than average inter-nucleon distances in the deuteron. As a result one can identify set of high Q2 reactions off polarized deuteron which are particularly sensitive to the short range dynamics of strong interaction. We concentrate on the studies of several aspects of the short range phenomena. These are the r...

D 1 (x) and Tensor Charge of the Deuteron. Abstract The chiral-odd structure function h D 1 (x) and the tensor charge of the deuteron are studied within the Bethe-Salpeter formalism for the deuteron amplitude. Utilizing a simple model for the nucleon structure function, h N 1 , h D 1 (x) is calculated and the nuclear effects are analyzed.
