Probing Nuclear Forces at Extreme Conditions

We discuss the possibility of investigation of the dynamics of the nuclear core at high energy and luminosity

experiments at Jefferson Lab. Main emphasize is given to the exploration of deep-inelastic

scattering from nuclei at x>1 and probing non-nucleonic component in the deuteron wave function at

very large internal momenta. In addition to the dynamics of the nuclear core we discuss also the

possibility of probing irreducible three-nucleon forces at high momenta and their relevance to

the existence of supermassive neutron stars.
