Short Range Correlations (SRCs) are a feature of the internal structure of all types of nuclei. SRC pairs have been well-studied with quasi-elastic electron scattering experiments. These experiments have suggested that that SRCs can be characterized by high relative momentum and low center of mass momentum. This reliance on electron scattering, however, makes it difficult to assess the...

11. Nuclear structure studies using inverse kinematics experiments (25+5)

Julian Kahlbow (MIT)

8/10/24, 10:00 AM

Recent experiments at JINR and GSI aim at studying long- and short-range nuclear structure in inverse kinematic experiments with nuclear beams at few GeV/c/u. I will discuss preliminary results.

17. A High Luminosity Polarized Helium-3 target for various experiments in Halls A and C of Jefferson Lab (25+5)

Arun Tadepalli (Jefferson Lab)

8/10/24, 11:00 AM

The A1n, d2n, GEn-II and A_LL experiments at Jefferson lab utilized a high luminosity polarized He3 target for precise measurements at high x and/or Q^2 settings. The target consists of a pumping chamber (where polarization of He3 takes place), a target chamber (where e- beam interacts with the target material) and transfer tubes (which facilitate a convective flow of the polarized material)....

19. Short-Range Correlations in Exotic Nuclei (25+5)

Hang Qi (MIT)

8/10/24, 11:30 AM

Nucleon-nucleon short-range correlations (SRCs) in atomic nuclei have traditionally been investigated using electron scattering. SRCs are predominantly found as proton-neutron pairs, as has been observed for light and heavy nuclei. We have extended SRC measurements for the first time to very neutron-rich short-lived nuclei by employing scattering of high-energy ion beams at 1.25 AGeV off a...

25. ρ- Meson Photoproduction as a Test of SRC Universality

Jackson Pybus (MIT)

8/10/24, 12:00 PM

Nuclear Short Range Correlations (SRCs) are pairs of nucleons which exist at short relative distance and high relative momentum within the nucleus. These SRC pairs have significant impacts on nuclear structure and have been extensively studied using hard quasi-elastic electron-scattering data. Interpretations of these hard scattering data rely heavily on our understanding of reaction...
