Description
I will report on the Jefferson Lab(JLab) Hall C experiment E12-10-008 (EMC effect) that is currently running and will finish data taking by mid February. Multiple cryogenic and solid targets were used to measure inclusive electron scattering using a 10.5 GeV beam from the Continuous Electron Beam Accelerator Facility at JLab. In this experiment, for a series of light to heavy nuclei, we measured inclusive electron scattering cross section ratios at x<1, where the EMC effect dominates, and at x>1 where contributions from nucleon-nucleon short-range correlations are relevant. The analysis of this data will further elucidate the connection between the nuclear quark distributions and the high-density configurations in nuclei and also shed more light on the nuclear dependence of the EMC effect. The EMC effect data for Boron-10 and -11 from a running period in 2018 has also been analyzed. I will present an outline of the related physics, an overview of how the experiment was conducted, and online analysis results in addition to the EMC effect results for Boron targets.
