59 5. Discussion The effort to imlement MEC model in MC is just started..., with many oen questions - How to choose 2 initial nucleon kinematics? - How to imlement 2 final nucleon FSI? - What kind of airs are referred, n-n, or n-, or -? - Where are 2 nucleons generated? - Do we assume any correlation of initial nucleon? (momentum and location) Some of them may be described in theoretical models, but what is best way to imlement in MC? (can have significant effect on redictions!) e.g.) Short Range Correlations (SRC) - Initial nucleons can be off-shell - from hadron exeriments, n- air is referred - 2 nucleons are close - initial momenta are correlated (back-to-back) We need more inut for a realistic rediction 59
