Abstract
We investigated simultaneously the and reactions at , , and in an (, ) missing-momentum range from 300 to . At these kinematics, with a missing momentum greater than the Fermi momentum of nucleons in a nucleus and far from the delta excitation, short-range nucleon-nucleon correlations are predicted to dominate the reaction. For of the events, a recoiling partner proton was observed back-to-back to the missing-momentum vector, an experimental signature of correlations.
