Short Range Correlations at Large xbj through Inclusive Electron-nucleus Scattering


الملخص بالإنكليزية

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 $mathrm{^{40}Ca}$.
