Investigating Short-Range Correlations in exotic nuclei at R3B using inverse kinematics — •Enis Lorenz1, Thomas Aumann1,2, Anna Corsi3, Aldric Revel3, Meytal Duer1,2, Or Hen4, and Julian Kahlbow4,5 for the R3B collaboration — 1TU Darmstadt, Germany — 2GSI Helmholtzzentrum für Schwerionenforschung Darmstadt, Germany — 3CEA-Saclay, France — 4Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, USA — 5Tel Aviv University, Tel Aviv, Israel
Short-Range Correlations (SRC) are two-body components of the nuclear wave function with high relative momentum and low center-of-mass momentum relative to the Fermi momentum, kF. These high-momentum nucleons, which are absent in a simple Fermi gas model, are formed as temporary closed-proximity nucleon pairs with high density, several times the nuclear saturation density. Studying the characteristics of SRC-pairs gives an unique opportunity to explore the interaction of cold dense nuclear matter as in neutron stars.
The first kinematically complete measurement of SRC in exotic nuclei will be performed at the R3B setup as part of the FAIR Phase-0 experimental program in Spring 2022 by scattering a 16C beam off a liquid hydrogen target in inverse kinematics at energy of 1.25 GeV/nucleon.
