TL;DR: In this paper, it has been realized that there must be corrections to this simple picture, for example, the meson exchange effects which preclude a simple interpretation of the magnetic moment of the deuteron in terms of d-state probability.
Abstract: Classical nuclear theory deals with a many-body system of neutrons and protons interacting nonrelativistically through two-body potentials. It has, of course, long been realized that there must be corrections to this simple picture—for example, the meson exchange effects which preclude a simple interpretation of the magnetic moment of the deuteron in terms of d-state probability. Nevertheless, the availability of beams of pions, and the consequent ability to study the excitation of real isobars in nuclei, has been critical in the realization that for many problems one must develop a theoretical model which explicitly includes pion and isobar degrees of freedom (see, for example, the proceedings of recent topical conferences Cat+ 82, MT 80).

TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that the EMC enhancement in the region x < 0.3 can be explained by an increase in the pion field in iron if there is an attractive force which mixes nucleon-hole and delta-hole states at momenta of order 300-400 MeV/c.

TL;DR: In this article, a model in which a baryon is treated as a three-quark bag that is surrounded by a cloud of pions is used to compute the static properties of the nucleon.
Abstract: A previously derived model in which a baryon is treated as a three-quark bag that is surrounded by a cloud of pions is used to compute the static properties of the nucleon. The only free parameter of the model is the bag radius which is fixed by a fit to pion-nucleon scattering in the (3,3)-resonance region to be about 0.8 fm. With the model so determined the computed values of the root-mean-square radii and magnetic moments of the neutron and proton, and ${g}_{A}$, are all in very good agreement with the experimental values. In addition, about one-third of the $\ensuremath{\Delta}$-nucleon mass splitting is found to come from pionic effects, so that our extracted value of ${\ensuremath{\alpha}}_{s}$ is smaller than that of the MIT bag model.

TL;DR: In this article, a wide list of topics ranging from opinion and cultural and language dynamics to crowd behavior, hierarchy formation, human dynamics, and social spreading are reviewed and connections between these problems and other, more traditional, topics of statistical physics are highlighted.
Abstract: Statistical physics has proven to be a fruitful framework to describe phenomena outside the realm of traditional physics. Recent years have witnessed an attempt by physicists to study collective phenomena emerging from the interactions of individuals as elementary units in social structures. A wide list of topics are reviewed ranging from opinion and cultural and language dynamics to crowd behavior, hierarchy formation, human dynamics, and social spreading. The connections between these problems and other, more traditional, topics of statistical physics are highlighted. Comparison of model results with empirical data from social systems are also emphasized.

TL;DR: The three quark system is studied in a relativized version of the quark potential model with chromodynamics and the spectrum of baryons is described with parameters consistent with those of an analogous study of meson spectroscopy.
Abstract: We have studied the three quark system in a relativized version of the quark potential model with chromodynamics. With parameters consistent with those of an analogous study of meson spectroscopy we obtain a successful description of the spectrum of baryons. The model naturally explains the apparent absence of spin‐orbit interactions in baryons.
