Description
Structure and dynamics of nuclear many-body systems are determined by the interactions between nucleons. Short-Range Correlations (SRC) cause pairs of strongly interacting nucleons whose distance is comparable to their radii, and individual momenta are larger than that of mean-field nucleons. We propose a novel research program at GSI-FAIR (R³B and HADES) with hadronic probes to study SRCs, as opposed to U.S.-led efforts in electron scattering, aiming at the understanding of nucleon interactions and cold dense nuclear matter.
