abstract

Recent developments in understanding the influence of the nucleus on deep-inelastic structure functions, the EMC effect, are reviewed. A new data base which expresses ratios of structure functions in terms of the Bjorken variable $x_A=AQ^2/(2M_A q_0)$ is presented. Information about two-nucleon short-range correlations from experiments is also discussed and the remarkable linear relation between short-range correlations and teh EMC effect is reviewed. A convolution model that relates the underlying source of the EMC effect to modification of either the mean-field nucleons or the short-range correlated nucleons is presented. It is shown that both approaches are equally successful in describing the current EMC data.

  1. Quark Phase Space Distributions in Nuclei

    nucl-th 2025-06 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Using Wigner distributions, the authors find that the fraction of baryons with quark phase-space occupancy above the Pauli bound tends to a constant for heavy nuclei, supporting the plausibility of low-momentum suppression.

  2. Short-range correlations in nuclei

    nucl-ex 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 2.0 of 10

    Short-range correlated pairs account for roughly 20% of nucleons in any nucleus and nearly all high-momentum nucleons, originating from the nucleon-nucleon tensor force.
