Towards a QCD derivation of the nucleus

Description

At low momentum transfer the QCD strong-coupling constant is large, and the expectations based on the strong coupling expansion (in low orders) may provide a valid guide to the strong interaction physics of nuclei. I employ the strong coupling expansion (SCQCD) and argue that quark exchange effects (without interaction) are absent or suppressed. Furthermore, flux-tube rearrangements seem small, and QCD string breaking effects resemble meson emission from hadrons. Thus SCQCD reproduces the qualitative features of the meson-baryon picture of conventional nuclei. 16 refs., 1 tab
