Nucleon and hadron structure changes in the nuclear medium and impact on observables
We review the effect of hadron structure changes in a nuclear medium using
the quark-meson coupling (QMC) model, which is based on a mean field
description of non-overlapping nucleon (or baryon) bags bound by the
self-consistent exchange of scalar and vector mesons. This approach leads to
simple scaling relations for the changes of hadron masses in a nuclear medium.
It can also be extended to describe finite nuclei, as well as the properties of
hypernuclei and meson-nucleus deeply bound states. It is of great interest that
the model predicts a variation of the nucleon form factors in nuclear matter.
We also study the empirically observed, Bloom-Gilman (quark-hadron) duality.
Other applications of the model include subthreshold kaon production in heavy
ion collisions, D and D-bar meson production in antiproton-nucleus collisions,
and J/Psi suppression. In particular, the modification of the D and D-bar meson
properties in nuclear medium can lead to a large J/Psi absorption cross
section, which explains the observed J/Psi suppression in relativistic heavy
ion collisions.Comment: 143 pages, 77 figures, references added, a review article accepted in

CALCULATION OF THE RAMAN FREQUENCIES AT LOW PRESSURES AND TEMPERATURES (σ-PHASE) SOLID NITROGEN
We calculate the Raman frequencies of the E-g mode and, the low and high frequency T-g mode as a function of temperature at a constant pressure of 2.85 kbar in the alpha-phase of solid nitrogen. The Raman frequencies of those lattice modes are calculated using the volume data from the literature at various temperatures (2.85 kbar) for the alpha-phase of solid N-2 through the mode Gruneisen parameter. Our predicted Raman frequencies can be compared with the experimental data and by this method the Raman frequencies can be calculated as a function of temperature at some other constant pressures
