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 class="gmail-katex"><span
