Abstract

A model-independent definition of short-range correlations is given in terms of the two-body density. It is contrasted to other concepts of the short-range correlations, particularly to deviations from a Slater determinant one-body density. It is shown how a two-nucleon knock-out reaction like (e, e'd) may give information about short-range correlations if its cross section is formulated in terms of a two-hole spectral function. This cross section is calculated in a simple model to demonstrate the possibility of extracting detailed information about two-body quantities from a complicated expression for the cross section. The results show that the distortion of the outgoing deuteron does not obscure the dependence on the relative motion of the two nucleons before the reaction.
