A confinement model calculation of h_1(x)

The transverse polarization distribution of quarks $h_1(x)$ is computed in a confinement model, the chiral chromodielectric model. The flavor structure of $h_1$, its $Q^2$ evolution and Soffer's inequality are studied. The Drell--Yan double transverse asymmetry $A_{TT}$ is evaluated and found to be one order of magnitude smaller than the double longitudinal asymmetry.

Neutron Stars and Massive Quark Matter

Using the Color-Dielectric model to describe quark confinement, including strange quarks and accounting for beta--equilibrium, we get masses for a static neutron star in the range $1.3\leq M/M_{\odot}\leq 1.54 $ for a radius $R\approx 9$ km. Rapid cooling through the direct URCA mechanism is obtained. The implications for the composition of neutron stars is discussed.
