Description
Recent proposals for hadronic physics contributions to nuclear structure and dynamics in the form of diquark-based short-range correlations (SRC) and hidden color states in nuclear wavefunctions will be discussed. While hidden color states have a 40-plus year history as rigorous predictions of the SU(3) basis of QCD, future experimental developments promise unprecedented access to their study. Hidden color states are typically built upon diquark bonds and this connection will be made explicit. Long standing mysteries such as the EMC effect and the fundamental QCD basis of SRC pairs in nuclei may have solutions based on the new diquark dynamics described herein.
