Description

In the Jefferson Lab experiment E12-06-105 we measured the inclusive scattering from a series of light to heavy nuclei at $x>1$ in the quasi-elastic regime. The measurement of quasi-elastic scattering from extremely high-momentum nucleons at moderate $Q^2$ but very large $x$ is a great tool to gain insight on the short-range structure and nucleon–nucleon correlations in nuclei. The E12-06-105 experiment ran concurrently with the E12-10-008 experiment which measured the nuclear dependence of EMC effect in Hall C at Jefferson Lab. These experiments utilized 10.5 GeV electron beam incident on several cryogenic and solid targets and used the two high momentum spectrometers of Hall C simultaneously. I will present an overview of these experiments and the preliminary results.
