Description
Electron scattering experiments demonstrate that about 20% of the nucleons in nuclei have momentum greater than the nuclear Fermi momentum. This is predominantly due to close-proximity neutron-proton pairs, which interact via a strong short-range force. I will discuss these close-nucleon in few body systems and their importance to the study of nucleon-nucleon interaction, neutron stars, and the modification of the internal structure of nucleons bound in nuclei.
