Short range correlations from a Quantum Monte Carlo perspective*

Electron-scattering experiments conducted at Jefferson Lab and other facilities worldwide enable accessing short- range aspects of nuclear dynamics. Quantum Monte Carlo (QMC) techniques are ideal for accurately treating both the long- and short-range components of the nuclear wave function as they emerge from realistic two- and three-body interactions. I will present an overview of recent developments in the description of electroweak interactions within QMC approaches and discuss future perspectives. Besides being relevant for the current experimental program, the studies I will discuss pave the way for precise quantification of the uncertainties inherent to factorization schemes.
