UW - 01 - 17 Light Front Nuclear Theory
High energy scattering experiments involving nuclei are typically analyzed in terms of light front variables. The desire to provide realistic, relativistic wave functions expressed in terms of these variables led me to try to use light front dynamics to compute nuclear wave functions. Here calculations of infinite nuclear matter in the mean field approximation and also in a light front version ...
متن کاملInfinite Nuclear Matter on the Light Front: a Modern Approach to Brueckner Theory
Understanding an important class of experiments requires that light-front dynamics and the related light cone variables k, k⊥ be used. If one uses k + = k+k as a momentum variable the corresponding canonical spatial variable is x = x − x and the time variable is x + x. This is the light front (LF) approach of Dirac. A relativistic light front formulation of nuclear dynamics is developed and app...
متن کاملLight - front field theory of hot and dense quark matter ∗
Extending the concepts of light-front field theory to quantum statistics provides a novel approach towards nuclear matter under extreme conditions. Such conditions exist, e.g., in neutron stars or in the early stage of our universe. They are experimentally expected to occur in heavy ion collisions, e.g., at RHIC and accelerators to be build at GSI and CERN. Light-front field theory is particula...
متن کاملLight Front Nuclear Theory and the HERMES Effect
I discuss applications of relativistic light front dynamics (the use of light cone variables) to computing the nucleonic and mesonic components of nuclear wave functions. Our method is to use a Lagrangian and its associated energy-momentum tensor T μ to define the total momentum operators Pμ, with P+ as the plus-momentum and P the light cone time development operator. The aim of this unusual ap...
متن کاملRotational Invariance In Nuclear Light-Front Mean Field Theory
A light-front treatment for spherical nuclei is developed from a relativistic effective Lagrangian and employing the mean field approximation. Minimizing the nuclear minus momentum subject to the constraint that, in the rest frame, the expectation values of the plusand minus-momenta are the same leads to a formalism in which rotational invariance is recovered. Light cone variables have long bee...
