The experimental evidence points to the existence, at short distances, of strongly correlated neutron-proton pairs much like they are in the deuteron or in free scattering processes. As it moves through the nuclear medium, a “bare” nucleon in the presence of the nucleon-nucleon interaction becomes “dressed” in a quasi-deuteron cloud [1], about 20% of the time. A phenomenological analysis of...

The isospin character of the p-n pair and n-n pair at medium relative momentum has been observed in comparison with A=6 nuclei, 6Li, and 6He. We have measured the 6Li(p,dp) and 6He(p,dn) cross sections for the neutron pick-up domain with 70A MeV incident heavy ion on the solid hydrogen target[1] via inverse kinematics at RIPS facility in RIKEN. All the reaction products at forward angles,...

Developing a unified description of finite nuclei based on the underlying interactions between individual nucleons is a long-sought goal in nuclear physics. Two-nucleon removal reactions offer a promising tool to investigate nucleon-nucleon correlations, the fundamental ingredients in nuclear forces. A well-documented case is the electron-induced (e, e’pN) pair removal measurements on a C...
