  High-energy electron scattering is a clean and precise probe for measurements
of hadronic and nuclear structure, with a key role in understanding the role of
high-momentum nucleons (and quarks) in nuclei. Jefferson Lab has dramatically
expanded our understanding of the high-momentum nucleons generated by
short-range correlations, providing sufficient insight to model much of their
impact on nuclear structure in neutron stars, and in low- to medium-energy
scattering observables including neutrino oscillation measurements. These
short-range correlations also appear to be related to the modification of the
quark distributions in nuclei, and efforts to improve our understanding of the
internal structure of these short-distance and high-momentum configurations in
nuclei will provide important input on a wide range of high-energy observables.
