Novel observation of isospin structure of short-range correlations in calcium isotopes
2020
Short Range Correlations (SRCs) have been identified as being responsible for the high momentum tail of the nucleon momentum distribution, n(k). Hard, short-range interactions of nucleon pairs generate the high momentum tail and imprint a universal character on n(k) for all nuclei at large momentum. Triple coincidence experiments have shown a strong dominance of np pairs, but these measurements involve large final state interactions. This paper presents the results from Jefferson Lab experiment E08014 which measured inclusive electron scattering cross-section from Ca isotopes. By comparing the inclusive cross section from $^{48}$Ca to $^{40}$Ca in a kinematic region dominated by SRCs we provide a new way to study the isospin structure of SRCs.
