Identical Bands in Superdeformed Nuclei: A Relativistic Description
Relativistic Mean Field Theory in the rotating frame is used to describe
superdeformed nuclei. Nuclear currents and the resulting spatial components of
the vector meson fields are fully taken into account. Identical bands in
neighboring Rare Earth nuclei are investigated and excellent agreement with
recent experimental data is observed.Comment: 11 pages (Latex) and 4 figures (available upon request)

Soft-hard interplay and factorization for baryon production in the target fragmentation region in ep collisions
We discuss baryon production in the nucleon fragmentation region in deep
inelastic scattering. The dependence of the nucleon spectra on Bjorken- is
evaluated within the parton model and in QCD, and ways to look for the
break-down of the DGLAP approximation via baryon production are suggested. We
argue also that the leading neutron production in these small processes is
rather insensitive to the pion parton densities of the nucleon.Comment: 13 pages, LaTeX, 2 Postscript figures; Final version to appear in

Hadronization of a Quark-Gluon Plasma in the Chromodielectric Model
We have carried out simulations of the hadronization of a hot, ideal but
effectively massive quark-gluon gas into color neutral clusters in the
framework of the semi-classical SU(3) chromodielectric model. We have studied
the possible quark-gluon compositions of clusters as well as the final mass
distribution and spectra, aiming to obtain an insight into relations between
hadronic spectral properties and the confinement mechanism in this model.Comment: 34 pages, 37 figure
Microscopic Study of Superdeformed Rotational Bands in 151Tb
Structure of eight superdeformed bands in the nucleus 151Tb is analyzed using
the results of the Hartree-Fock and Woods-Saxon cranking approaches. It is
demonstrated that far going similarities between the two approaches exist and
predictions related to the structure of rotational bands calculated within the
two models are nearly parallel. An interpretation scenario for the structure of
the superdeformed bands is presented and predictions related to the exit spins
are made. Small but systematic discrepancies between experiment and theory,
analyzed in terms of the dynamical moments, J(2), are shown to exist. The
pairing correlations taken into account by using the particle-number-projection
technique are shown to increase the disagreement. Sources of these systematic
discrepancies are discussed -- they are most likely related to the yet not
optimal parametrization of the nuclear interactions used.Comment: 32 RevTeX pages, 15 figures included, submitted to Physical Review
Diffractive Heavy Quarkonium Photo- and Electroproduction in QCD
Hard diffractive photo- and electroproduction of heavy vector mesons
( and ) is evaluated within the leading approximation of QCD. In difference from our earlier
work on that subject, also the production of transversely polarized vector
mesons is calculated. Special emphasis is placed on the role of the vector
meson's light-cone wave function. In that context, conventional
non-relativistic quarkonium models and a light-front QCD bound state
calculation are critically examined and confronted with QCD expectations. Our
numerical analysis finds a significant high momentum tail in the latter wave
functions and a deviation from the expected asymptotic behavior of
. We then design an interpolation to match the
quarkonium models at large inter-quark separations with QCD expectations at
small distances. We use these results to compare our predictions for the
forward differential cross section of photo- and electroproduction
with recent experimental results from HERA. In addition, our earlier discussion
of electroproduction is updated in light of recent experimental and
theoretical enhancements.Comment: 44 pages, LaTeX, 14 figures included using epsf.tex; Final version to

Hard diffractive electroproduction of vector mesons in QCD
Hard diffractive electroproduction of longitudinally polarized vector mesons
is calculated within the leading
approximation of QCD using the leading order parton densities within the
nucleon. Novel QCD features of the production of excited states and of the
restoration of flavor symmetry are analyzed. At the onset of the asymptotic
regime, our analysis finds an important role of quark Fermi motion within the
diffractively produced vector mesons, and we suggest to use this effect to
measure the high momentum tail of the wave function of the vector mesons. We
deduce a kinematical boundary for the region of applicability of the
decomposition of the hard amplitudes over powers of and/or a limit on the
increase of the cross sections of hard processes at small , and briefly
analyze its consequences. We also estimate the nuclear attenuation of the
diffractive electroproduction of vector mesons and compare with estimates of
the shadowing of the longitudinal structure function.Comment: 64 pages, REVTeX, 16 figures optionally included using epsfig.sty,
