Electron scattering is a powerful tool for studying high momentum nucleon and quark distributions in nuclei. Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility (JLab) with its 11 GeV beam is capable of studying high momentum nucleons with unmatched precision. The role of short range nucleon configurations and quark distributions is significant for understanding the dynamics of nuclei and their underlying components. Scattering cross section measurements in the kinematic regime x > 1, a region forbidden to the free nucleon, are sensitive to high momentum nucleons, which are believed to come from short range correlations (SRCs). SRCs are strongly interacting, high momentum nucleons with a low center-of-mass momentum that are highly decoupled from the nuclear environment. The focus of this research is on precision measurements of 2N SRCs, the observation of 3N SRCs, and the measurement of parton distribution functions at x > 1
