We sketch an approximate method to quantify the number of correlated pairs inany nucleus $A$. It is based on counting independent-particle model (IPM)nucleon-nucleon pairs in a relative $S$-state with no radial excitation. Weshow that IPM pairs with those quantum numbers are most prone to short-rangecorrelations and are at the origin of the high-momentum tail of the nuclearmomentum distributions. Our method allows to compute the $a_2$ ratios extractedfrom inclusive electron scattering. Furthermore, our results reproduce theobserved linear correlation between the number of correlated pairs and themagnitude of the EMC effect. We show that the width of the pair center-of-massdistribution in exclusive two-nucleon knockout yields information on thequantum numbers of the pairs.
