Description
Short-Range Correlations (SRC) refer to pairs of nucleons that exhibit high relative momentum while maintaining low center-of-mass momentum. Over the past decade, extensive investigations, primarily using electron scattering,have revealed that SRCs predominantly consist of neutron-proton pairs, which significantly contribute to the high-momentum tail of nuclear wave functions.
Recent advances in SRC research, employing hadronic probes in inverse kinematics, have introduced new opportunities for studying SRCs
through hard quasi-free exclusive scattering reactions. This contribution provides an overview of the current challenges in SRC research and highlights recent experimental developments.
