The dipole in the angular distribution of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) is attributed to the Doppler effect and our motion relative to the CMB rest frame. It is expected that observations of large-scale structures (LSSs) would also…

Deep inelastic structure functions $F_2^A(x)$ are investigated in a $Q^2$ rescaling model with parton recombination effects. We find that the model can explain experimentally measured $F_2^A(x)$ structure functions reasonably well in the…
We report a novel manifestation of spin-vorticity interplay in relativistic heavy-ion collisions. Using $^{16}$O+$^{197}$Au at $\sqrt{s_{\rm NN}}=7.7$ GeV as a test case, we show that the $\Lambda$ hyperon exhibits a clear dual-polarization…
Recent experiments performed on inclusive electron scattering from nuclear targets have measured the nucleon electromagnetic structure functions $F_1(x,Q^2)$, $F_2(x,Q^2)$ and $F_L(x,Q^2)$ in $^{12}C$, $^{27}Al$, $^{56}Fe$ and $^{64}Cu$…

Our goal is to reveal how the $\alpha$ cluster amplitude is probed through $\alpha$ knockout reactions depending on reaction conditions, e.g., the incident energy. We consider $^{20}$Ne($p$,$p\alpha$)$^{16}$O and…
Experimental Coulomb sum values of 6^Li and 7^Li nuclei have been obtained, extending the earlier reported momentum transfer range of Coulomb sums for these nuclei up to q = 0.750 ... 1.625 fm^-1. The dependence of the Coulomb sums on the…
