Finite Pressure Corrections to Nucleon Structure Function Inside a
Nuclear Medium    [PDF]

J. Rożynek

Our model calculations performed in the frame of the Relativistic Mean Field (RMF) approach show how important are the modifications of nucleon Structure Function (SF) in Nuclear Matter (NM) above the saturation point. They originated from the conservation of a parton longitudinal momenta - essential in the explanation of the EMC effect at the saturation point of NM. For higher density the finite pressure corrections emerge from the Hugenholtz -van Hove (HH) theorem valid for NM and asks to modify the nucleon SF. The density evolution of the nuclear SF seems to be stronger for higher densities. Here we show that the course of Equation o State (EoS) in our modified Walecka model is very close to that obtained from extensive DBHF calculations with a Bonn A potential. The nuclear compressibility decreases. Our model - a nonlinear extension of nuclear RMF, has no additional parameters.
