Welcome! William & Mary ScholarWorks preserves and provides access to the research and creative output of William & Mary's faculty, staff, and students.

UPDATE 18th JUNE 2025: Our repository has migrated from Digital Commons to Open Repository DSpace as of this summer. Additional updates and improvements will continue through the Fall semester. Thank you for your patience during this transition.

    Serving Students Across the Globe: Establishing Library Outreach and Instructional Services for an International-US Dual-Degree Program
    (2019-01-01) Oberlies, Mary; William & Mary
    T he creation of inter-university partnerships can enhance the course offering of universities by filling programmatic gaps, increasing student and faculty diversity, and building institutional reputations. Universities can take advantage of many types of partnerships— domestic and international. Domestic partnerships might be with another university or a specific organization. For example, George Mason University collaborates with the Smithsonian Institute to offer intensive, hands-on conservation programs. International partnerships might take the form of creating a type of “branch campus,” a study abroad collaboration, or departmental partnerships with faculty exchanges. This chapter focuses on a dual degree master’s program between George Mason University’s School of Conflict Analysis and Resolution (S-CAR) and the University of Malta’s Mediterranean Academy of Diplomatic Studies (MEDAC).

    Using baryon octet magnetic moments and masses to fix the pion cloud contribution
    (Elsevier, 2010) Gross, Franz; Ramalho, G.; Tsushima, K.; Data science
    Using SU(3) symmetry to constrain the πBB′ couplings, assuming SU(3) breaking comes only from one- loop pion cloud contributions, and using the covariant spectator theory to describe the photon coupling to the quark core, we show how the experimental masses and magnetic moments of the baryon octet can be used to constrain the strength of the pion cloud contributions to the octet, and hence the nucleon, form factors at Q² = 0. Keywords: Baryon octet, Magnetic moments, Pion cloud

    Quark model with chiral-symmetry breaking and confinement in the Covariant Spectator Theory
    (EDP Sciences, 2016) Biernat, Elmar; Peña, M. T.; Ribeiro, J. E.; Stadler, A.; Gross, Franz; Data science
    We propose a model for the quark-antiquark interaction in Minkowski space using the Covariant Spectator Theory. We show that with an equal-weighted scalar- pseudoscalar structure for the confining part of our interaction kernel the axial-vector Ward-Takahashi identity is preserved and our model complies with the Adler-zero con- straint for π-π-scattering imposed by chiral symmetry.
