The EMC Effect: Recent data and future corrections
COFFEE_KLATCH · Invited
Abstract
The EMC effect demonstrates clearly that the quark substructure of nuclei is not universal, but it has been difficult to disentangle nuclear structure effects from possible modifications of the internal structure of the constituent nucleons. Data from recent measurements will help separate these effects, and have provided new insight into what drives the nuclear dependence. Future measurements, including ones that leverage recent developments in experimental techniques aimed at understanding nucleon structure, will provide further and more detailed information on these nuclear effects.
