Abstract

The longitudinal response function R(q,w)\ of nuclear matter is calculated in a semiclassical quark model. The model has a many- body string-flip potential that confines quarks into hadrons and avoids color van der Waals forces. Molecular dynamics simulations are used to calculate R(q,w)\ in one space dimension for a variety of momentum transfers q\ and excitation energies w. The response function decreases with density (compared to a free hadron response) because of quark exchange between hadrons.
