High-energy electron scattering is a clean, precise probe for measurements of hadronic and nuclear structure and plays a key role in understanding the role of high-momentum nucleons (and quarks) in nuclei. Jefferson Lab has dramatically expanded our knowledge of the high-momentum nucleons generated by short-range correlations, providing sufficient insight to model much of their impact on nuclear structure in neutron stars and in low- to medium-energy scattering observables, including neutrino oscillation measurements. These short-range correlations also seem related to the modification of the quark distributions in nuclei, and efforts to improve our understanding of the internal structure of these short-distance and high-momentum configurations in nuclei will provide important input on a wide range of high-energy observables.

理解原子核短程结构的研究进展：实验视角


高能电子散射是一种干净、精确的探针，用于测量强子和核结构，在理解高动量核子（和夸克）在原子核中的作用方面发挥着关键作用。杰斐逊实验室极大地扩展了我们对短程相关性产生的高动量核子的了解，提供了足够的见解来模拟它们对中子星和中低能散射可观测物中核结构的大部分影响，包括中微子振荡测量。这些短程相关性似乎也与原子核中夸克分布的修改有关，提高我们对原子核中这些短距离和高动量构型内部结构的理解的努力将为广泛的高能可观测物提供重要输入。
