The rate of the nuclear reaction $^3He+\mu^- \to ^3H+\gamma+\nu_{\mu}$ has been calculated using both the elementary particle model (EPM) approach and the impulse approximation (IA) approach. Using the EPM approach, the exclusive…
We study theoretically the scattering of light by an ensemble of $N$ resonant atoms in a sub-wavelength volume. We consider the low intensity regime so that each atom responds linearly to the field. While $N$ non-interacting atoms would…
We summarize and explain the current status of time variations of the electron mass in cosmology, showing that such variations allow for significant easing of the Hubble tension, from the current $\sim5\sigma$ significance, down to between…
The beta-decay of the 6He halo nucleus and the M1-transition processes of the excited 6Li(0+) state into the alpha + d continuum are studied in a three-body model. The initial nuclear states are described as an alpha + 2N system in…
The deep inelastic scattering cross section for scattering from bound nucleons differs from that of free nucleons.This phenomena, first discovered 30 years ago, is known as the EMC effect and is still not fully understood. Recent analysis…
Valence-shell nucleon knock-out experiments, such as 12C(e,e'p)11B, measure less strength then is predicted by independent particle shell model calculations. The theoretical solution to this problem is to include the correlations between…
The observed correlation between the EMC effect and the contribution of short-range correlations (SRCs) in nuclei suggests that the modification of the quark distributions of bound protons and neutrons might occur within SRCs. This raises…
Beside the rise of total cross sections or interaction radii of colliding high energetic particles and the shrinkage of mean-free-paths of ultra relativistic particles (nucleii) in material media (anomalons), which have been shown to be of…
The unintegrated parton distribution functions (UPDFs) of $^3H$, $^3He$ and $^4He$ nuclei are generated to calculate their structure functions (SFs) in the $k_t$-factorization approach. The Kimber-Martin-Ryskin (KMR) formalisn is applied to…
We analyze relativistic effects in transverse momentum using Quantum Molecular Dynamics [QMD] and its covariant extension Relativistic Quantum Molecular Dynamics [RQMD]. The strength of the relativistic effects is found to increase with the…
Weinstein, et. al [1] [PRL 106, 052301 (2011)] and Hen, et. al [2] [PRC 85, 047301 (2012)] observed a correlation between the EMC effect and the amount of short range correlated (SRC) pairs in nuclei which implies that quark distributions…
The ratios of inclusive electron scattering cross sections of $^4$He, $^{12}$C, and $^{56}$Fe to $^3$He have been measured for the first time. It is shown that these ratios are independent of $x_B$ at Q$^2>$1.4 (GeV/c)$^2$ for $x_B>$ 1.5…
An approach for a Poincar\'e covariant description of nuclear structure and of lepton scattering off nuclei is proposed within the relativistic Hamiltonian dynamics in the light-front form. Indeed a high level of accuracy is needed for a…
The Standard Model cannot explain the dominance of matter over anti-matter in our universe. This imbalance indicates undiscovered physics that violates combined CP symmetry. Many extensions to the Standard Model seek to explain the…
We develop a kinetic approach to the production of light nuclei up to mass number $A$ $\leqslant$ $4$ in intermediate-energy heavy-ion collisions by including them as dynamic degrees of freedom. The conversions between nucleons and light…
We study the response of a nucleus composed of nucleons and confined quarks. Assuming dynamics implied by a non-relativistic cluster model, we prove that the total response is a convolution of the responses of, respectively, a nucleus with…
The hadronic properties of the $\rho$ meson produced in the inclusive photonuclear reaction have been investigated. The elementary reaction occurring in the nucleus is assumed as $\gamma N \to \rho^0 N$. The $\rho$ meson, while propagating…
It has been recently confirmed that the magnitude of the EMC effect measured in electron deep inelastic scattering is linearly related to the Short Range Correlation scaling factor obtained from electron inclusive scattering. By using a…
We study the early evolution of the electron fraction (or, alternatively, the neutron-to-proton ratio) in the region above the hot proto-neutron star formed after a supernova explosion. We study the way in which the electron fraction in…
We give a brief overview of nuclear parton distributions. First, the EMC effect is discussed together with possible interpretations such as nuclear binding and $Q^2$ rescaling. Next, we explain shadowing descriptions:…
