Electromagnetic stress on nucleon structure
arXiv:1906.08276 · doi:10.1016/j.nuclphysa.2020.121736
Abstract
External electromagnetic fields can provoke stress, and thus modifications of the internal structure of nucleons. Working with this hypothesis, one can derive a simple description of the charge dependence of the EMC effect. This first result is confirmed by two explicit models of the structure functions of deformed nucleons in the atomic nucleus. For large nuclei a continuous model is used. For small nuclei a discrete distribution of nuclear matter gives better results.
