New Chinese facilities for short-range correlation physics

This article explores the significant advancements in Short-Range Correlation (SRC) research enabled by the latest Chinese nuclear physics facilities-CSR at HIRFL, HIAF, SHINE, and the upcoming EicC. These facilities introduce cutting-edge technologies and methodologies, addressing existing challenges and broadening the scope for SRC studies. By providing detailed insights into the capabilities and expected contributions of each facility, the paper highlights China’s emerging role in the global nuclear physics landscape. The collaborative potential, alongside complementary global efforts, positions these facilities to deeply influence our understanding of nuclear matter’s fundamental properties and interactions.
