[D7.011] Multiquark-cluster formation in nuclei

Drew Fustin, Athanasios Petridis (Drake University)

The wavefucntions of nucleons bound in a nucleus may sufficiently overlap to creat color singlets made of more than 3 valence quarks. A quasi-classical network-based algorithm has been developed to calculate the probabilities for multi-quark cluster formation. The spatial (one-body) nucleon distribution used is either standard Woods-Saxon or a Fourier-Bessel series fitted to scattering data. The resulting cummulative probabilities are in agreement with those needed to describe the EMC-effect and J/\Psi suppresion in hadron-nucleus collisions.
