Description
The nucleon-nucleon interaction at short distances is the primary mechanism responsible for generating high-momentum components in nucleon momentum distributions. The isospin structure and abundance of 2-nucleon short-range correlations (2N SRCs) have been studied in detail in both light and heavy nuclei. Additionally, theoretical models predict that 3N SRCs will emerge and become dominant at extremely high nucleon momenta. However, experimental efforts so far have not provided definitive evidence for their existence.
In this talk, I will review possible 3N SRC configurations, experimental methods, and the results from past 3N SRC searches. I will also discuss future plans to search for 3N SRC signals at Jefferson Lab.
