Title Short Range Correlations in Nuclei at Large xbj through Inclusive Quasi-Elastic Electron Scattering
Abstract The experiment, E08-014, in Hall-A at Jefferson Lab aims to study the short-range correlations (SRC) which are necessary to explain the nuclear strength absent in the mean field theory. The cross sections for 2H, 3He, 4He, 12C, 40Ca and 48Ca, were measured via inclusive quasi-elastic electron scattering from these nuclei in a Q2 range between 0.8 and 2.8 (GeV/c)^2 for x>1. The cross section ratios of heavy nuclei to 2H were extracted to study two-nucleon SRC for 1<x<2, while the study of three-nucleon SRC was carried out from the cross section ratios of heavy nuclei to 3He for x<2. Meanwhile, the isospin dependence in SRCs has also been examined through the cross section ratio of 48Ca and 40Ca.
