Measurments of Correlated Pair Momentum Distributions in 3He(e,e'pp)n With CLAS

<p>We have measured the ³He(e,e'pp)n reaction at 2.2 and 4.4 GeV over a wide kinematic range. The kinetic energy distribution for ’fast’ nucleons (p > 250 MeV/c) peaks where two nucleons each have 20% or less and the third or ‘leading’ nucleon carries most of the transferred energy. These fast nucleon pairs (both <em>pp</em> and <em>pn</em>) are back-to-back and carry very little momentum along q, indicating that they are spectators. Experimental and theoretical evidence indicates that we have measured N N correlations in ³He(e,e'pp)n by striking the third nucleon and detecting the spectator correlated pair.</p>
