Description

We discuss the size of the nucleon in the nucleus. It has been suggested, in connection with the EMC effect and the missing-strength problem in the charge response of the nucleus, that the nucleon swells in the nuclear medium. We propose a pionic interpretation of this swelling, which reconciles this effect with the interpretation of the EMC effect based on the conventional picture of the nucleus through meson exchanges
