The Chiral Quark-Soliton model provides the quark and antiquark substructure of the nucleon, which is embedded in nuclear matter. This provides a new way to asses the effects of the nuclear medium on the nucleon. We calculate nuclear…

Evidence for a flavor asymmetry between the $\bar u$ and $\bar d$ quark distributions in the proton has been found in deep-inelastic scattering and Drell-Yan experiments. The pronounced dependence of this flavor asymmetry on $x$ (fraction…
In this work, coherence effects in deep inelastic scattering (DIS) and in the Drell-Yan (DY) process off nuclei are investigated, in particular nuclear shadowing. The target rest frame and the color dipole formulation are employed. Multiple…
We study the energy loss of a quark moving in a strongly coupled QGP under the influence of anisotropy. The heavy quark drag force, diffusion coefficient, and jet quenching parameter are calculated using the Einstein-Maxwell-dilaton model,…
Considerable evidence now exists for partonic energy loss due to interaction with the hot, dense medium created in ultra-relativistic heavy-ion collisions. A primary signal of this energy loss is the suppression of high transverse momentum…
