Polarized quark distributions in nuclear matter

We compute the polarized quark distribution function of a bound nucleon. The Chiral Quark-Soliton model provides the quark and antiquark substructure of the nucleon embedded in nuclear matter. Nuclear effects cause significant modifications to the polarized distributions including an enhancement of the axial coupling constant.Comment: 5 Pages, 2 Postscript figures, Version to be published in Phys.

Chiral solitons in nuclei: Electromagnetic form factors

We calculate the electromagnetic form factors of a bound proton. The Chiral Quark-Soliton model provides the quark and antiquark substructure of the proton, which is embedded in nuclear matter. This procedure yields significant modifications of the form factors in the nuclear environment. The sea quarks are almost completely unaffected, and serve to mitigate the valence quark effect. In particular, the ratio of the isoscalar electric to the isovector magnetic form factor decreases by 20% at Q^2=1 GeV^2 at nuclear density, and we do not see a strong enhancement of the magnetic moment.Comment: 13 pages, 6 figures, Added references and a clearer connection to experimen

Science with passion and a moral compass

For many years, I have found John Vandermeer’s leadership rewarding to study and follow for his commitment to ecology, evolution, social justice, and teaching. This collection of essays and tributes demonstrates these commitments and his breadth of influence over five decades. When we were graduate students, John’s analysis of geographic variation in a freshwater fish was so superior to anything that had been done before that many of us were compelled to follow his quantitative perspective. His imagination and productivity as a zoology graduate student at Kansas and Michigan marked him as someone to watch, and followers were immediately attracted to his science and his revolutionary spirit.https://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/153951/1/VandermeerTribute pub.pdf2
