Short-Range Nucleon-Nucleon Correlations
ORAL
Abstract
For short periods of time, the nucleons in the nucleus can form strongly correlated pairs. By probing the nucleus with electrons in xB $>$ 1 and Q2 $>$ 2 [GeV/c]2 kinematics, it seems that researchers have finally cleanly observed the effects of a correlated initial-state and suppressed the other reaction mechanisms which dominated experiments which were done in less extreme kinematics. Recent experimental results in these kinematics, both inclusive and exclusive, will be presented along with a discussion of what the data has taught us.
