The EMC effect in effective field theory

  • 1. Department of Physics, Box 351560, University of Washington, Seattle, WA 98195 (United States)

Description

Using effective field theory, we investigate nuclear modification of nucleon parton distributions (for example, the EMC effect). We show that the universality of the shape distortion in nuclear parton distributions (the factorisation of the Bjorken x and atomic number (A) dependence) is model independent and emerges naturally in effective field theory. We present simple fits to experimental data that incorporate this factorisation
