Electron scattering measurements on nuclei from 9Be to 197Au show SRC pair formation probability increases with A but with steeper slopes across shell-structure transitions, indicating long-range shell effects on short-range correlations.

abstract
The protons and neutrons in a nucleus can form strongly correlated nucleon pairs. Scattering experiments, where a proton is knocked-out of the nucleus with high momentum transfer and high missing momentum, show that in 12C the neutron-proton pairs are nearly twenty times as prevalent as proton-proton pairs and, by inference, neutron-neutron pairs. This difference between the types of pairs is due to the nature of the strong force and has implications for understanding cold dense nuclear systems such as neutron stars.

MINERvA compares quasielastic-like cross sections at two neutrino beam energies and finds discrepancies pointing to overestimated final state interactions for protons and pions.
Precision measurement of bremsstrahlung gamma rays in 124Sn+124Sn collisions at 25 MeV/u yields a high-momentum tail fraction of (20 ± 3)% in 124Sn when compared to IBUU simulations.
Calculations in the impulse approximation indicate that radiative Bhabha scattering at BESIII could produce tens of thousands of γn → π⁻p events on deuteron and beryllium targets, enabling precise neutron momentum distribution measurements.
Short-range correlated pairs account for roughly 20% of nucleons in any nucleus and nearly all high-momentum nucleons, originating from the nucleon-nucleon tensor force.
Fixing an error in GENIE's elastic hadron-nucleus scattering code reduces large distortions in transverse kinematic imbalance distributions for quasielastic neutrino events while having milder effects on other observables.
