Abstract

Understanding an important class of experiments requires that light-front dynamics and related light cone variables k+ and kperp be used. If one uses k+ as a momentum variable, the corresponding canonical spatial variable is x-=x0-x3 and the time variable is x0+x3. This is the light front (LF) approach of Dirac. A relativistic light front formulation of nuclear dynamics is developed and applied to treating infinite nuclear matter in a method which includes the corelations of pairs of nculeons. This is light front Brueckner theory.
