Recent experiments and many-body calculations indicate that approximately 20\% of the nucleons in medium and heavy nuclei ($A\geq12$) are part of short-range correlated (SRC) primarily neutron-proton ($np$) pairs. We find that using chiral…
Atomic nuclei are held together by the strong nuclear force acting between protons and neutrons (nucleons). While the long range, averaged part of this force is well described by the nuclear shell model, the short-range and tensor…

Atomic nuclei and dense nucleonic matter in neutron stars exhibit short-range correlations (SRCs), where nucleons form temporally correlated pairs in proximity beyond mean-field approximation. It is essential to make precision measurement…
When protons and neutrons (nucleons) are bound into atomic nuclei, they are close enough together to feel significant attraction, or repulsion, from the strong, short-distance part of the nucleon-nucleon interaction. These strong…

Three-nucleon short-range correlation ($3N$ SRC) represents a rare and intriguing part of the nuclear dynamics at short distance, beyond the two-nucleon short-range correlation ($2N$ SRC). To search its existence is a hot topic in the…

We measured the triple coincidence A(e,e'np) and A(e,e'pp) reactions on carbon, aluminum, iron, and lead targets at Q2 > 1.5 (GeV/c)2, xB > 1.1 and missing momentum > 400 MeV/c. This was the first direct measurement of both proton-proton…
The influence of short-range correlations (SRC) on the triple-coincidence (e,e$'$pp) reactions is studied. The non-relativistic model uses a mean-field potential to account for the distortions that the escaping particles undergo. Apart from…
Studies of the ultrarelativistic collisions of hadrons and nuclei at different centrality and energy enable to explore the QCD phase diagram in a wide range of temperature and baryon density. Long-range correlation studies are considered as…
