Description
Inclusive electron scattering experiments performed at JLab have been a powerful tool to probe nuclear structure. Mean field theory has been a very accurate model at predicting a variety of properties of the nucleus. However, it fails to predict the distribution of high momentum nucleons within the nucleus. To answer this, the SRC picture points to multi-nucleon Short-Range Correlations (SRCs) which predicts that a combination of two (and potentially three or more) nucleons come within close proximity of each other and feel the repulsion of a short range nuclear force. This poster will show recent 2N SRC measurements as well as the progress towards obtaining 3N SRCs from E12-06-105.
