Abstract

The role of quarks in nuclei is discussed using the ideas generated from quantum chromodynamics dynamics which suggest an underlying quark lattice in the nucleus. The possibility that such a lattice has already been observed is qualitatively confirmed by reexamining electron scattering results from light nuclei. The existence of such multi-nucleon correlations throughout the nucleus suggests some new ideas for heavy ion reactions.
