New Results on Three-Nucleon Short-Range Correlations

Nuclear Theory 2018-10-05 v1

Abstract

The recent progress in studies of two-nucleon~(2N) short-range correlations~(SRCs) are reviewed with the main emphasize given to the observation of the strong dominance of proton-neutron~(pn) SRCs in nuclei as compared to proton-proton and neutron-neutron SRCs. Based on the pn SRC dominance a specific prediction is made for the dynamical structure of 3N- SRCs for inclusive A(e,e)XA(e,e^\prime)X reactions, according to which the 3N- SRCs are generated through the sequence of two short range pnpn interactions. This allowed us to predict that the height of the plateau in the ratios of inclusive eA cross sections to that of 3He^3He in the 3N-SRC region is related to the height of the plateau in the 2N-SRC region by a quadratic relation. The analysis of the available experimental data supports validity of such a relation.
