The relation between nuclear saturation and NN-correlations is examined. Nucleons bound in a nucleus have a reduced effective mass due to the mean field. This results in off-energy-shell scatterings modifying the free-space NN-interaction…

Short-range correlation pairs (SRCs) -- core of nuclear structure, composed of highly off-shell nucleons -- are mostly studied via electron-nucleon scattering, leaving a gap in meson-based probes. We propose probing SRC off-shell nucleons…

We report the first measurement of $x_B$-scaling in $(e,e'p)$ cross-section ratios off nuclei relative to deuterium at large missing-momentum of $350 \leq p_{miss} \leq 600$ MeV/c. The observed scaling extends over a kinematic range of $0.7…

The effect of dynamical short-range correlations on the generalized momentum distribution $n(\vec{p},\vec{Q})$ in the case of $Z=N$, $\ell$-closed shell nuclei is investigated by introducing Jastrow-type correlations in the…
The large nucleon-nucleon scattering length, and the isospin approximate symmetry, are low energy properties of quantum chromodynamics (QCD). These entail correlations in the binding energies of light nuclei, e.g., the A=3 iso-multiplet,…
Short range correlated nucleon-nucleon ($NN$) pairs are an important part of the nuclear ground state. They are typically studied by scattering an electron from one nucleon in the pair and detecting its spectator correlated partner…

The nucleon-nucleon short-range correlation NN-SRC is one of the key issues of nuclear physics, which typically manifest themselves in high-momentum components of the nuclear momentum distributions. In this letter, the nuclear spectral…
