Chiral solitons in nuclei: Saturation, EMC effect and Drell-Yan experiments
J. R. Smith🇺🇸 · G. A. Miller🇺🇸
Abstract
The Chiral Quark-Soliton model of the nucleon contains a mechanism for an attractive interaction between nucleons. This, along with the exchange of vector mesons between nucleons, is used to compute the saturation properties of infinite nuclear matter. This provides a new way to asses the effects of the nuclear medium on a nucleon that includes valence and sea quarks. We show that the model simultaneously describes the nuclear EMC effect and the related Drell-Yan experiments.
