Study of SRCs in neutron-rich nuclei with inverse kinematics measurements

Abstract Experiments in inverse kinematics are a novel approach to study short-range correlations atomic nuclei. Such fully exclusive experiments offer unique advantages over normal as they allow the structure of short-lived radioactive-nuclei using quasi-free scattering reactions and measure complete final state directly. In pilot at JINR $$^{12}$$ 12 C beam 4 GeV/c/nucleon on proton target, we show that challenges posed by final-state interactions can be overcome taking advantage post-selection. This opens new research path dynamics high-momentum nucleons extremely asymmetric
