Description
Short Range Correlations (SRC) are pairs of strong interacting nucleons with high relative momentum and low center of mass momentum compared to the Fermi momentum. The R3B S522 experiment run in 2022 at GSI, Germany and studied SRCs in the 12C and 16C isotopes, via the scattering of high energy ion beams off proton target in inverse kinematics. Using an exclusive measurement, we study for the first time SRC properties in exotic short lived nuclei, including their pair ratio and momentum distributions, paving the way for studying SRC physics in a neutron-rich environment. In this talk I will overview the experiment, discuss the calibration of several detectors and present the preliminary analysis results.
