About

Emc effect is a phenomenon observed in deep inelastic scattering experiments demonstrating that the momentum distribution of quarks within nucleons bound inside atomic nuclei differs significantly from that of free nucleons. This effect reveals the modification of nucleon structure functions by the nuclear environment, serving as a key area of research in nuclear and particle physics to understand the interplay between nuclear forces and the internal quark-gluon dynamics of hadrons.
