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 $mathrm{^{2}H}$, $mathrm{^{3}He}$, $mathrm{^{4}He}$, $mathrm{^{12}C}$, $mathrm{^{40}Ca}$ and $mathrm{^{48}Ca}$, were measured via inclusive quasielastic electron scattering from these nuclei in a $mathrm{Q^{2}}$ range between 0.8 and $mathrm{2.8~(GeV/c)^{2}}$ for $x_{bj}>1$. The cross section ratios of heavy nuclei to $mathrm{^{2}H}$ were extracted to study two-nucleon SRC for $1<x_{bj}<2$, while the study of three-nucleon SRC was carried out from the cross section ratios of heavy nuclei to $mathrm{^{3}He}$ for $x_{bj}ge 2$. Meanwhile, the isospin dependence in SRCs has also been examined through the cross section ratio of $mathrm{^{48}Ca}$ and $mathrm{^{40}Ca}$.

We present an overview of Short-Range Correlations (SRC) studies using the inclusive measurement of the electron scattering off nuclei. A brief introduction of the origin of the SRC is given, followed by the survey of the two-nucleon SRC (2N-SRC) study and its interesting connection to the EMC effect. A discussion of the three-nucleon SRC study (3N-SRC) measured by the Jefferson Labs Hall B and Hall C experiments which showed contradictory results is given and, most importantly, we report a new result from the Hall A E08-014 experiment which was dedicated on studying 3N-SRC. Our high precision 4He/3He cross section ratios at the x > 2 region do not show a 3N-SRC plateau as predicted by the naive SRC model. To further investigate the 3N-SRC as well as the Isospin effect of the SRC, we have designed several approved experiments in Hall A and in Hall C, including the Tritium experiments using the mirror nuclei (3H and 3He) which are currently running in Hall A.
The past few years has seen tremendous progress in our understanding of short-range correlated (SRC) pairing of nucleons within nuclei, much of it coming from electron scattering experiments leading to the break-up of an SRC pair. The interpretation of these experiments rests on assumptions about the mechanism of the reaction. These assumptions can be directly tested by studying SRC pairs using alternate probes, such as real photons. We propose a 30-day experiment using the Hall D photon beam, nuclear targets, and the GlueX detector in its standard configuration to study short-range correlations with photon-induced reactions. Several different reaction channels are possible, and we project sensitivity in most channels to equal or exceed the 6 GeV-era SRC experiments from Halls A and B. The proposed experiment will therefore decisively test the phenomena of np dominance, the short-distance NN interaction, and reaction theory, while also providing new insight into bound nucleon structure and the onset of color transparency.
The inclusive A(e,e) cross section for $x simeq 1$ was measured on $^2$H, C, Fe, and Au for momentum transfers $Q^2$ from 1-7 (GeV/c)$^2$. The scaling behavior of the data was examined in the region of transition from y-scaling to x-scaling. Throughout this transitional region, the data exhibit $xi$-scaling, reminiscent of the Bloom-Gilman duality seen in free nucleon scattering.
It is shown that, if inclusive lepton scattering off nuclei at high momentum transfer is analyzed in terms of proper scaling variables, useful information on Nucleon-Nucleon short range correlations in nuclei can be obtained. The traditional approach to Y-scaling is critically analyzed and a novel approach to Y-scaling, which incorporates the effects from two- and three-nucleon correlations in nuclei, is illustrated.
The inclusive electromagnetic responses in the quasi-elastic region are calculated with a model which considers the terms of the cluster expansion containinga single correlation line. The validity of this model is studied by comparing, in nuclear matter, its results with those of a complete calculation. Results in finite nuclei for both one-and two-nucleon emission are presented.
