Zusammenfassung: | The reaction 12C(p,2p+n) was measured at beam momenta of 5.9 and 7.5 GeV/c..
We established the quasi-elastic character of the reaction C(p,2p) at
$\theta_{cm}\simeq 90^o$, in a kinematically complete measurement. The neutron
momentum was measured in triple coincidence with the two emerging high momentum
protons. We present the correlation between the momenta of the struck target
proton and the neutron. The events are associated with the high momentum
components of the nuclear wave function. We conclude that two-nucleon short
range correlations have been seen experimentally. The conclusion is based on
kinematical correlations and is not based on specific theoretical models. |
