Recent and Upcoming Inclusive Short Range Correlation Measurements in Hall C at Jefferson Lab
ORAL
Abstract
Short range correlations (SRCs) are a major component of the high-momentum tail in nuclei. SRCs give us a wealth of knowledge on the high momentum and short-range component of the nucleon-nucleon (NN) interaction. A linear correlation between SRC pairs and the EMC effect became evident from the 6 GeV experiments in Hall C at JLab. Additional measurements of both EMC effect and SRCs for a large set of light nuclei will give new information on the correlation seen in the previous 6 GeV experiment. As a part of commissioning of the super high momentum spectrometer, several light nuclear targets were studied for the first time; boron-10 and boron-11. Commissioning results from boron-10 and boron-11 will be presented along with an update on the full experiment running currently at Jefferson Lab.
