Abstract
Short range correlations (SRC) are an extremely important part of nuclear structure. They are responsible for the high momentum part of the nuclear wavefunction. Instantaneous densities can significantly exceed the average neutron star density. Recent (e,e′) measurements at Jefferson Lab have shown that SRC are universal in nuclei from deuterium to gold, that the probability of two‐nucleon SRC is 5–25%, and that the probability of three‐nucleon SRC is less than 1%. Recent (e,e′pn) measurements have measured the SRC probabilities as a function of proton momentum and have measured the joint NN momentum distributions.
