SRC and Few Body Precision Measurements on $^3$H and $^3$He mirror nuclei

This talk will discuss the exciting experimental program studying short range correlations and few body dynamics at Jefferson Lab in $A=3$ nuclei. Quasi-elastic electron scattering on these light nuclei have readily calculable ground states but can already exhibit complex nuclear behavior including nucleon-nucleon (NN) short range correlations (SRCs). $^3$H and $^3$He, being mirror nuclei, exploit the maximum available isospin asymmetry and can be compared directly with ab initio calculations. This talk will summarize the recent Hall A $^3$H and $^3$He results. The first measurement of SRC nucleons in $^3$He using the CLAS detector from Hall B and identifying lead neutrons in $np$ pairs at high missing momentum will be shown. These fascinating results will be extended in an approved experiment using the CLAS12 detector to measure high-statistics and absolute cross sections on $^2$H, $^3$He, and $^3$H with a wide range of kinematical coverage. This talk will discuss the recent and proposed measurements and their implications on nuclear models for few body nuclear dynamics and short range structure.
