An important ingredient for applications of nuclear physics to e.g. astrophysics or nuclear energy are the cross sections for reactions of neutrons with rare isotopes. Since direct measurements are often not possible, indirect methods like…

The longitudinal response function $R(q,w)$\ of nuclear matter is calculated in a semiclassical quark model. The model has a many- body string-flip potential that confines quarks into hadrons and avoids color van der Waals forces. Molecular…
