In Medium Nucleon Structure Functions, SRC, and the EMC effect

Understand

A proposal approved by the Jefferson Lab PAC to study semi-inclusive deep inelastic scattering (DIS) off the deuteron, tagged with high momentum recoiling protons or neutrons emitted at large angle relative to the momentum transfer.

• This experiment aims at studying the virtuality dependence of the bound nucleon structure function as a possible cause to the EMC effect and the EMC-SRC correlations.
• The experiment was approved in 2011 for a total run time of 40 days.
