Correlated nucleons in configuration space

Abstract

Several recent studies have dealt with the effects of short range correlations on the momentum distribution of nucleons in nuclei. Here we investigate the correlation effects on the density and spectral distribution in coordinate space. A combination of experimental data and spectral functions calculated from realistic N-N interactions allows us to resolve a recently uncovered discrepancy with occupation of quasi-particle states derived from (e,e'p) data.
