Measurement of Two- and Three-Nucleon Short-Range Correlation Probabilities in Nuclei

Abstract: Measurement of two-and three-nucleon shortrange correlation probabilities in nuclei KS The ratios of inclusive electron scattering cross sections of 4 He, 12 C, and 56 Fe to 3 He have been measured at 1 < x B < 3. At Q 2 > 1:4 GeV 2 , the ratios exhibit two separate plateaus, at 1:5 < x B < 2 and at x B > 2:25. This pattern is predicted by models that include 2-and 3-nucleon short-range correlations (SRC). Relative to A 3, the per-nucleon probabilities of 3-nucleon SRC are 2.3, 3.1, and 4.4 times larger for… Show more

“…The short-and medium-range components of the nucleon-nucleon interaction induce beyond mean-field high-momentum and highdensity fluctuations in the nuclear medium, thereby giving rise to fat tails in the nuclear momentum distributions [1][2][3]. The magnitude of nuclear SRC has been linked to plateaus in ratios of cross sections of inclusive electron scattering off different nuclei [4][5][6], and to the size of the EMC effect [7].…”

“…It is possible to obtain x > 1, since the parton that was struck could have been shared between nucleons. Moreover, the cross section ratio at x > 1 becomes a sequence of plateaus, in line with predictions made on the basis of SRCs [8].…”

“…It is possible to obtain the observed x > 1 through high-density fluctuations of multiple nucleons into short range correlations [8]. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a model of SRCs to describe nuclear PDFs.…”
