40. Nucleon-Nucleon Correlations and the Quarks Within

Prof. Gerald Miller (UW, Seattle)

2/1/17, 4:00 PM

This talk reviews our current understanding of how the internal quark structure of a nucleon bound in nuclei differs from that of a free nucleon. We focus on the interpretation of measurements of the EMC effect for valence quarks, a reduction in the Deep Inelastic Scattering (DIS) cross-section ratios for nuclei relative to deuterium, and its possible connection to nucleon-nucleon Short-Range...

68. Short-range NN interactions: Experimental Past and Future

Prof. Nadia Fomin (University of Tennessee)

2/1/17, 4:25 PM

High momentum components of the nuclear wave-function are believed to arise as a result of short-range NN correlations in the ground state. The 6 GeV era at Jefferson Lab has yielded a wealth of information about these high momentum nucleons across many nuclei, and revealed a tantalizing connection to the EMC effect, possibly linking very different kinematic regimes. Existing measurements...

90. Properties of light nuclei from lattice QCD

William Detmold (MIT)

2/1/17, 4:50 PM

Fundamentally, nuclear physics arises from the Standard Model. The calculation of key nuclear physics quantities from this underlying theory is extremely challenging because of the multiple scales of physics that are involved and the severe computational complexity. The availability of petascale (and the prospect of exascale) high performance computing is changing this situation by enabling...

9. Nucleon Parton Structure from the DSEs

Mr Kyle Bednar (Kent State University)

2/1/17, 5:15 PM

The parton structure of the nucleon is investigated using QCD's Dyson-Schwinger equations (DSEs). The formalism used here builds in numerous features of a QCD approach, for example, the dressing of parton propagators and dynamical formation of non-pointlike di-quark correlations. All needed elements, including the nucleon wave function solution from a Poincar\'e covariant Faddeev equation,...
