Description
At the Laboratory of High Energy Physics (LHEP) within JINR, we’re preparing a new SRC (Short-Range Correlations) experiment at the HyperNIS experimental area in the fixed target experimental hall Bld. 205. By investigating the fleeting interactions between high-momentum nucleons, SRC studies can provide unique insights into the structure of nuclear matter. This experiment will leverage a tensor-polarized deuteron beam to perform spin-dependent measurements of SRC. To achieve this, a novel setup based on a two-arm spectrometer is under development. Here, we present preliminary results on optimizing the detector configuration for this experiment.
