Workshop Session B: Opportunities for knockout reaction studies related to short-range correlations

The experimental evidence points to the existence, at short distances, of strongly correlated neutron-proton pairs much like they are in the deuteron or in free scattering processes.
As it moves through the nuclear medium, a “bare” nucleon in the presence of the nucleon-nucleon interaction becomes “dressed” in a quasi-deuteron cloud, about 20% of the time. Our phenomenological analysis of...
The short range correlation (SRC), is a peculiar new phenomenon that is relevant to the most dense part of the nucleus, as the SRC happens when the nucleon-nucleon pair is close to each other by only about a half of their normal average distance. Due to the Heisenberg's uncertainty principle, the SRC nucleons have much higher momentum than the Fermi momentum, contrary to the conventional,...
