Short-range correlated pair formation and nuclear shell structure
D. Nguyen, C. Yero, H. Szumila-Vance +26
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 smalle…
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…
Measuring short-range correlations and quasi-elastic cross sections in A(e,e') at x>1 and modest Q
Y. P. Zhang, Z. H. Ye, D. Nguyen +96
We present results from the Jefferson Lab E08-014 experiment, investigating short-range correlations (SRC) through measurements of inclusive quasi-elastic scattering from H, $^…
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…
Isospin Dependence of the EMC effect and Short range Correlations
B. Schmookler, M. Duer, A. Schmidt +4
Recent studies have shown that the per-nucleon number of Short-Range Correlated (SRC) pairs in nuclei and the strength of the EMC effect are linearly correlated, increasing from li…
