12. New Measurements of the EMC Effect at 12 GeV

Cameron Cotton (University of Virginia)

Since the discovery of the EMC Effect nearly 40 years ago, there has been significant theoretical and experimental effort dedicated to understanding its underlying cause. However, to this day, the EMC Effect remains one of the great unsolved mysteries in nuclear and particle physics. Questions such as whether the EMC Effect implies that nucleon form factors are modified in nuclei or if the...

31. Testing the EMC-SRC Hypothesis with the BAND Experiment

The EMC effect, the observation that Deep Inelastic Scattering (DIS) from bound nucleons differs significantly from that on free nucleons, has puzzled nuclear physicists for nearly forty years. A potential cause for this phenomenon is the formation of short-range correlations (SRCs) between nucleons within a nucleus, which can lead to significant changes in partonic structure. This hypothesis...

21. Measurements and Simulations of (e,e’n)/(e,e’p) in the Proton-Rich Nucleus 3He

Recent data mining analyses from the CLAS experiment at Jefferson Lab have enabled detection of neutrons from the hard break up of Short-Range Correlated (SRC) pairs, leading to the observation that protons are disproportionately represented in high momentum states in neutron-rich nuclei. Here we seek to determine whether neutrons speed up in proton-rich nuclei by studying the proton-rich...

23. SRC Scaling Below the Inclusive Limit

Andrew Denniston (MIT)

8/6/22, 10:00 AM

Nearly all measurements of SRC are done at high xB. Using new analysis methods and semi-inclusive data, we can extend our kinematic range to low xB.

16. Neutron-Proton Pair Dominance of SRC pairs with a Real Photon Beam

Phoebe Sharp (George Washington University)

8/6/22, 10:20 AM

Short Range Correlations (SRCs) are a feature of the internal structure of all
types of nuclei. Characterized by their relative and center of mass momenta,
SRC pairs have been well studied with quasi-elastic electron scattering
experiments. The reliance on electron scattering however, makes it difficult
to assess the influence of reaction effects and final state interactions on
what...

26. Preliminary results of Short-Range Correlations study in exotic nuclei at R3B

Hang Qi (MIT)

8/6/22, 10:40 AM

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...
