Short-range correlated pair formation and nuclear shell structure
D. Nguyen, C. Yero, H. Szumila-Vance +27
Short-range correlated (SRC) nucleon pairs, caused by brief, high-momentum interactions between two nucleons, are dominated by neutron-proton pairs with large relative and smaller…
Short-range correlations in nuclei
Or Hen, Holly Szumila-Vance, Lawrence Weinstein
Atomic nuclei are held together by the strong nuclear force acting between protons and neutrons (nucleons). While the long range, averaged part of this force is well described by t…
Threshold Photoproduction as a Probe of Nuclear Gluon Structure
J. R. Pybus, D. Dutta, H. Gao +83
The nuclear EMC effect is the observation that quark distributions in bound nucleons experience significant modification at large relative to free nucleons. Despite decades of…

Novel observation of isospin structure of short-range correlations in calcium isotopes
D. Nguyen, Z. Ye, P. Aguilera +101
Short Range Correlations (SRCs) have been identified as being responsible for the high momentum tail of the nucleon momentum distribution, n(k). Hard, short-range interactions of n…
