Design and development of a 5 kV isolated solid state switch
A unique microcircuit intended for use as a shorting switch for large extraterrestrial solar cell arrays is described. The packaging design for the 5 kV isolated hybrid switch is different from most hybrid microcircuits in that it utilizes a compartmentalized plastic case (a portion of which is encapsulated), is not hermetic, and is designed for high voltage operation
Baryon Current Matrix Elements in a Light-Front Framework
Current matrix elements and observables for electro- and photo-excitation of
baryons from the nucleon are studied in a light-front framework. Relativistic
effects are estimated by comparison to a nonrelativistic model, where we use
simple basis states to represent the baryon wavefunctions. Sizeable
relativistic effects are found for certain transitions, for example, to radial
excitations such as that conventionally used to describe to the Roper
resonance. A systematic study shows that the violation of rotational covariance
of the baryon transition matrix elements stemming from the use of one-body
currents is generally small.Comment: 32 pages, LaTeX, 10 postscript figures, uses epsf.sty; figures

Independence of , Poincare Invariance and the Non-Conservation of Helicity
A relativistic constituent quark model is found to reproduce the recent data
regarding the ratio of proton form factors, . We show that
imposing Poincare invariance leads to substantial violation of the helicity
conservation rule, as well as an analytic result that the ratio

Deep inelastic scattering and final state interaction in an exactly solvable relativistic model
In the theory of deep inelastic scattering (DIS) the final state interaction
(FSI) between the struck quark and the remnants of the target is usually
assumed to be negligible in the Bjorken limit. This assumption, still awaiting
a full validation within nonperturbative QCD, is investigated in a model
composed by two relativistic particles, interacting via a relativistic harmonic
oscillator potential, within light-cone hamiltonian dynamics. An
electromagnetic current operator whose matrix elements behave properly under
Poincar\'e transformations is adopted. It is shown that: i) the parton model is
recovered, once the standard parton model assumptions are adopted; and ii) when
relativistic, interacting eigenfunctions are exactly taken into account for
both the initial and final states, the values of the structure functions,
averaged over small, but finite intervals of the Bjorken variable , coincide
with the results of the parton model in the Bjorken limit.Comment: 26 pages, to appear in Phys. Rev. C (May 1998
Poincare Invariant Algebra From Instant to Light-Front Quantization
We present the Poincare algebra interpolating between instant and light-front
time quantizations. The angular momentum operators satisfying SU(2) algebra are
constructed in an arbitrary interpolation angle and shown to be identical to
the ordinary angular momentum and Leutwyler-Stern angular momentum in the
instant and light-front quantization limits, respectively. The exchange of the
dynamical role between the transverse angular mometum and the boost operators
is manifest in our newly constructed algebra.Comment: 21 pages, 3 figures, 1 tabl
The Role of Color Neutrality in Nuclear Physics--Modifications of Nucleonic Wave Functions
The influence of the nuclear medium upon the internal structure of a
composite nucleon is examined. The interaction with the medium is assumed to
depend on the relative distances between the quarks in the nucleon consistent
with the notion of color neutrality, and to be proportional to the nucleon
density. In the resulting description the nucleon in matter is a superposition
of the ground state (free nucleon) and radial excitations. The effects of the
nuclear medium on the electromagnetic and weak nucleon form factors, and the
nucleon structure function are computed using a light-front constituent quark
model. Further experimental consequences are examined by considering the
electromagnetic nuclear response functions. The effects of color neutrality
supply small but significant corrections to predictions of observables.Comment: 37 pages, postscript figures available on request to
