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.

Short-range correlated pair formation and nuclear shell structure

nucl-ex · 2026-06-05 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

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.

Short-range correlations in nuclei

nucl-ex · 2026-05-12 · unverdicted · novelty 2.0

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.
