Description
At Jefferson Lab, high luminosity electron beam are used to perform precision measurements on asymmetric nuclei including 3H, 3He, 48Ca, and 208Pb. Those nuclear system with imbalanced number of protons and neutrons provide a unique testing ground for isospin and flavor dependent effects in nuclear and nucleon structure. The recent Hall A Tritium Project which used the simplest many-body system, 3H and 3He to extract the neutron structure function, the nucleon-nucleon short-range correlation, and the nucleus charge radii. Unique information also came from measurements with Ca48 and Pb208 which provide a nearly saturated, neutron-rich nuclear environment. In this talk, I will discuss some of those recent results and also related measurements in the near future.
