Prof. Or Hen (MIT)

Description

I will present results from new studies of short-ranged correlations in nuclei and the EMC effect, with emphasis on measurements of neutron-rich nuclei. I will also discuss the development of new effective theories for describing short-ranged correlations, the way in which they relate to experimental observables, and the emerging universality of short-distance and high-momentum physics in nuclear systems.
