Book excerpt: Probing nucleon-nucleon correlations has proven to be difficult due to competing mechanisms, such as final state rescattering and two-body currents, which can produce the same final state as one would expect from correlations. Recent A(e, e'p) and A(e, e'pN) measurements have sought to minimize the effects of competing mechanisms by going to special kinematics. For example going to kinematics where the particle with most of the kinetic energy is parallel to the momentum transfer vector, going to high momentum transfers, and/or going to large Bjorken x. The results of these measurements will be presented along with state-of-the-art theoretical calculations.
