Nucleon-Nucleon Correlations and Multiquark Cluster Effects in Deep Inelastic Electron Scattering off Few-Nucleon Systems at $x>1$

Abstract

Inclusive $A(e,e')X$ and semi-inclusive $A(e,e'N)X$ deep inelastic electron scattering processes off few-nucleon systems are investigated at $x > 1$, showing some of the relevant features of the cross section which are sensitive to the effects arising from nucleon-nucleon correlations and possible exotic multiquark cluster configurations at short internucleon separations.
