    "abstract": "We analyze recent data from high-momentum-transfer $(p,pp)$ and $(p,ppn)$\nreactions on Carbon. For this analysis, the two-nucleon short-range correlation\n(NN-SRC) model for backward nucleon emission is extended to include the motion\nof the NN-pair in the mean field. The model is found to describe major\ncharacteristics of the data. Our analysis demonstrates that the removal of a\nproton from the nucleus with initial momentum 275-550 MeV/c is $92^{+8}_{-18}%$\nof the time accompanied by the emission of a correlated neutron that carries\nmomentum roughly equal and opposite to the initial proton momentum. Within the\nNN-SRC dominance assumption the data indicate that the probabilities of $pp$ or\n$nn$ SRCs in the nucleus are at least a factor of six smaller than that of $pn$\nSRCs. Our result is the first estimate of the isospin structure of NN-SRCs in\nnuclei, and may have important implication for modeling the equation of state\nof asymmetric nuclear matter.",
