Theoretical investigation of two- and three-body short range correlations in inclusive electron scattering off nuclei at high momentum transfer

Understand

The effects of short range correlations (SRC) in inclusive (A(e,e')X) and exclusive (A(e,e'N)X and A(e,e'2N)X) are reviewed.

• A new approach to the analysis of inclusive cross sections is illustrated, based upon the introduction of proper scaling functions and variables which incorporate the effects of two- and three-nucleon SRC.
• The approach is used to interpret the plateaux observed in the CLAS inclusive cross section ratios of 4He, 12C and 56Fe to 3He.
