Description
The description of physical systems depends on the resolution at which they are probed. Since the discovery of quarks, a central question in nuclear physics has been how to connect the traditional, low-resolution picture of nuclei in terms of protons and neutrons (nucleons) with the high-resolution description involving quarks and gluons. At the intersection of these two regimes are Short-Range Correlations (SRCs): pairs of strongly interacting nucleons whose separation is comparable to their radii. Due to their overlapping quark distribution and strong interaction, SRC pairs can serve as a bridge between low-energy structure and high-energy quark distribution. In this talk, I will present an overview of the current SRC white paper, highlighting recent progress in SRC studies and the path forward.
