<p>Hi all, <br>
<br>
We will have our first PASS talk of the year next Monday. Please
join us at noon (from 12:00 pm to 1:00 pm) in the Nebula
Room (PHYS 3027).<br>

is particularly sensitive to the distribution of high-momentum
quarks, often referred to as 'superfast quarks.' These quarks,
which carry momentum exceeding that of a nucleon, are linked to
the short-distance structure of nuclei. This region presents a
promising opportunity to investigate the role of quark degrees
of freedom in nuclear structure. The 12 GeV data from Jefferson
Lab enables a more precise study compared to the 6 GeV data, the
maximum energy achievable before the upgrade, as the higher <span

while suppressing quasi-elastic contributions"</div>
