Short Range Correlations (SRCs) result from fluctuations when nucleons form pairs with high relative momentum and small center of mass momentum for short periods of time. SRCs are an important aspect in the investigation of large relative momentum and short distance properties of nuclear wave functions. Electron scattering experiments suggest that about 20% of nucleons in nuclei belong to SRC pairs. Particle scattering experiments at high energies also indicate effects of SRCs. In addition, signatures are predicted in collisions of intermediate energy heavy ions. Analysis of energy spectra of light particles from violent collisions in intermediate energy heavy ion reactions will be presented in a search for signatures of SRCs at these energies.
