Experimental Aspects of a New Generation of SRC Measurements Using Hadron Beams

ORAL

Abstract

A program of a new generation of fully exclusive SRC measurements have been designed and partially executed during the past two years using hadron beams at JINR and GSI. These hard nucleon knock-out measurements are designed to take place at normal and inverse kinematics where an accelerated nucleon or light nucleus scatters off of a standing heavier nucleus (normal) or where a heavy nucleus scatters off of a nucleon or a standing lighter nucleus (inverse). At the final state, all products of the hard knock-out reaction are detected in coincidence. 

In our talk, we will give a deep insight into how we study SRC pairs using normal and inverse kinematics at GSI and JINR, respectively and the motivation for fully exclusive SRC measurements. We will also present the experimental aspects of a recently executed measurement at JINR where a 4 GeV/c/u 12C beam was used on a liquid hydrogen target to knockout a proton from an SRC pair in the carbon nucleus and detect in coincidence the target-scattered proton along with the residual A-2 system.
