AbstractNuclear dynamics at short distances is one of the most fascinating to ics of strong interaction physics. The physics of it is closely relate to the understanding the role of the QCD in generating nuclear forc at short distances as well as understanding the dynamics of the supe dense cold nuclear matter relevant to the interior of neutron stars. Wi an emergence of high energy electron and proton beams there is a si nificant recent progress in high energy nuclear scattering experimen aimed at studies of short-range structure of nuclei. This in turn stim ulated new theoretical studies resulting in the observation of sever new phenomena specific to the short range structure of nuclei. In th work we review recent theoretical and experimental progress in studi of short-range correlations in nuclei and their importance for advan ing our understanding of the dynamics of nuclear interactions at sma distances.
