Description
In the Jefferson Lab experiment, E12-06-105 performed in Hall C, we measured the inclusive scattering from a series of light to heavy nuclei at $x > 1$ in the quasielastic and deeply inelastic regimes. The measurement of quasielastic scattering from extremely high-momentum nucleons at moderate $Q^2$ but very large $x$ is a great tool to gain insight on the short-range structure and nucleon–nucleon correlations in nuclei. On the other hand, the measurement at high $Q^2$ and moderately high $x$ is dominated by the deep inelastic scattering (DIS) from the $x \ge 1$ part of the nuclear parton distributions. The latter can be used to probe the distribution of super fast quarks (SFQs) which is sensitive to short-range structure in nuclei. The E12-06-105 experiment ran concurrently with E12-10-008 (EMC Effect) experiment in Hall C at Jefferson Lab and used 10.5 GeV electron beam incident on several cryogenic and solid targets. I will present an overview of the E12-06-105 experiment and online/preliminary results.
