Short-range correlations in nuclei

Holly Szumila-Vance, Lawrence Weinstein, Or Hen

Short-range correlated nucleon pairs account for roughly 20% of all nucleons in any nucleus and almost all high-momentum nucleons.

The bundle contains the canonical record plus signed events. A mirror can host it anywhere and recompute the same current state with the deterministic merge algorithm.

Claims

C1strongest claim

These short-range correlated (SRC) pairs account for roughly 20% of all nucleons in any nucleus and almost all of the high momentum nucleons.

C2weakest assumption

That the experimental signatures from deep-inelastic and quasielastic scattering cleanly isolate SRC pairs without significant contamination from multi-nucleon processes or final-state interactions that vary across nuclei.

C3one line summary

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.
