The atomic nucleus is composed of two different kinds fermions, protons and neutrons. If the neutrons did not interact, Pauli exclusion principle would force majority fermions (usually neutrons) to have a higher average momentum. Our high-energy electron scattering measurements using 12C, 27Al, 56Fe 208Pb targets show that, even in heavy neutron-rich nuclei, short-range interactions between form correlated high-momentum neutron-proton pairs. Thus, greater probability than momentum Fermi This...
We present measurements of the differential cross section and $\ensuremath{\Lambda}$ recoil polarization for $\ensuremath{\gamma}p\ensuremath{\rightarrow}{K}^{+}\ensuremath{\Lambda}$ reaction made using CLAS detector at Jefferson Lab.

At medium we find evidence a new resonance N(2070)D15 with (M,Gamma)=(2068+/-22, 295+/-40) MeV. gamma above 1.5 GeV, strong peak forward direction develops, signaling exchange of vector mesons t channel.

Because of their long lifetimes, the ω and ϕ mesons are ideal candidates for study possible modifications in-medium meson-nucleon interaction through absorption inside nucleus.
