Description
Nuclear long-range and short-range correlations (SRC) are marked by different energy-momentum scales. Long-range correlations typically occur at ``low'' (order of MeV) nuclear excitation energies and as they extend over the size of the nucleus, relatively low nucleon momenta are involved. The majority of high-momentum nucleons are born in short-distance collisions of two nucleons. Results are presented of a systematic theoretical study of the isospin composition and neutron-to-proton (N/Z) ratio dependence of SRC across the nuclear mass table. Connections are forged between measured electroinduced nucleon-knockout quantities sensitive to SRC and nuclear momentum distributions.
