Short Range Correlations, Inclusive Electron-Nucleus Scattering, and Scaling

摘要

The presence of high momentum components in the nuclear wavefunction has been of great in terest for many years. Unfortunately high momentum components, associated with the short range cor relations (SRC), have been difficult to isolate unambiguously. Inclusive electron scattering cross sections in the quasielastic region have been measured over a wide range of energy and momentum transfers from very light to very heavy nuclei and the scaling analyses of these data can provide useful in formation on the presence of SRCs and more.
