We determine nuclear structure functions and quark distributions for $^7$Li, $^{11}$B, $^{15}$N and $^{27}$Al. For the nucleon bound state we solve the covariant quark-diquark equations in a confining Nambu--Jona-Lasinio model, which yields…

We reveal nuclear many-body effects on short range correlations by ab initio no-core shell model calculations of the scaling factor a2. The factor a2 characterizes the abundance of SRC pairs and is linearly related to the EMC effect. Our…
Motivated by recent high-energy electron and $\rm ^3H$ and $\rm ^3He$ nuclei scattering experiment in Jefferson Lab (Nature 609, 41 (2022)), the short-range correlations (SRCs) between nucleon pairs for 3-nucleon systems are microscopically…

Background: Nuclear short-range correlations (SRCs) are corrections to mean-field wave functions connected with the short-distance behavior of the nucleon-nucleon interaction. These SRCs provide corrections to lepton- nucleus cross sections…

Nucleon short-range correlations (SRCs) and the associated high-momentum tail (HMT) in its momentum distribution $n(k)$ represent a universal feature of strongly interacting Fermi systems. In nuclear matter, SRCs arise primarily from the…
