The Drell-Hearn-Gerasimov sum-rule is really two sum-rules: one for each of the valence and the sea/glue contributions to the nucleon wavefunction. The convergence of these sum-rules follows from the Froissart bound for spin dependent…

Inclusive studies of nuclear photoabsorption have provided clear evidence of medium modifications in the properties of hadrons. However, the results have not been explained in a model independent way. A deeper understanding of the situation…
