Abstract
We suggest that the number of correlated nucleon pairs in an arbitrary nucleus can be estimated by counting the number of proton-neutron, proton-proton, and neutron-neutron pairs residing in a relative state. We present numerical calculations of those amounts for the nuclei He, Be, C, Al, Ca, Ca, Fe, Cu, Ag, and Au. The results are used to predict the values of the ratios of the per-nucleon electron-nucleus inelastic scattering cross section to the deuteron in the kinematic regime where correlations dominate.
