SRC: Parallel 4
- Igor Strakovsky (The George Washington University)
Short-Range Correlations (SRCs) between nucleons appear to a ubiquitous feature of the structure of nuclei. While correlated nucleons are a minority (estimated to be approximately 20% of nucleons in all but light nuclei), they can have an outsized influence on a number of relevant nuclear properties such as the symmetry energy in the nuclear matter equation of state, matrix elements in double...
Neutrino oscillation experiments rely on observing neutrino-nucleus interactions to obtain the energy spectrum which is key to study this phenomenon. The challenge in obtaining the required precision lies in controlling the systematic uncertainties in the energy measurement of the neutrinos. A significant fraction of these uncertainties comes from the unknowns of neutrino scattering. A better...
We are entering an era of high-precision neutrino oscillation experiments (T2HK, DUNE), which potentially hold answers to some of the most exciting questions in particle physics. Their scientific program requires a precise knowledge of neutrino-nucleus interactions coming from fundamental nuclear studies. These theoretical calculations should be firstly benchmarked with electron scattering...
