A simple explanation of the absence of the spherical nuclei with the hidden-color states

Abstract

Inspired by the EMC effect, the Cd puzzle and the SU3-IBM, a hypothesis can be given for a nucleus, that only the nucleus itself is a trivial (0,0) representation of the SU(3) group, which leads to the simple conclusion that spherical nucleus does not exist and the spherical mean field is not allowed. The key conclusion is that the whole nucleus should have many hidden-color states, and the quark-gluon degrees of freedom are required even at the low-energy excitation of the nucleus.

Comments: For the first time, the clear evidence for the existence of the color degree of freedom of the nucleons in the nucleus is given. Comments are welcome
