New Jefferson Lab data are presented on the nuclear dependence of the inclusive cross section from 2H, 3He, 4He, 9Be and 12C for 0.3<x<0.9, Q^2 approximately 3-6 GeV^2. These data represent the first measurement of the EMC effect for 3He at large x and a significant improvement for 4He. The data do not support previous A-dependent or density-dependent fits to the EMC effect and suggest that the nuclear dependence of the quark distributions may depend on the local nuclear environment.

  1. Isospin dependence of nuclear EMC effect from global QCD analysis

    hep-ph 2026-02 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    Nucleon parton distributions must include off-shell (binding) corrections to describe A=2,3 DIS data, with evidence for an isovector component that changes the extracted nuclear EMC ratios.

  2. Gluonic Probe for the Short Range Correlation in Nucleus

    hep-ph 2019-08 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Gluon-sensitive heavy flavor production is proposed as a probe of short-range correlations, predicting that sub-threshold J/psi cross section ratios equal known SRC ratios.

  3. An analysis of nuclear parton distribution function based on relative entropy

    hep-ph 2025-08 unverdicted novelty 5.0 of 10

    A relative-entropy method with a minimum-relative-entropy hypothesis reproduces quark nPDF shapes from global fits and indicates that EPPS21 gluon central values align more closely with the hypothesis than nNNPDF3.0.

  4. Nuclear parton distributions and nuclear shadowing

    hep-ph 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 2.0 of 10

    A review summarizing experimental evidence, theoretical models of nuclear shadowing, model-agnostic nuclear PDF extractions, and prospects for LHC and EIC studies.
