More than 30 years ago, the European Muon Collaboration provided evidence that quark distributions are modified in nuclei as compared to the free nucleon. The EMC Effect has been a subject of investigation, both experimentally and theoretically, ever since. To date, there is no universally accepted explanation of the EMC Effect, but recent results have given some exciting clues as to its...

The nuclear shell model pictures deeply bound nucleons as being in fully occupied states. At and above the Fermi surface, configuration mixing then leads to occupancies that gradually decrease to zero. This picture is modified in an important way by several correlation effects that are absent from, or are described only approximately by, effective-interaction theories, such as the shell model....

In high-energy scattering, the physics of hadrons can be described by various light-cone correlation functions, which include parton distributions, generalized parton distributions, distribution amplitudes, as well as the so-called light-cone wave functions. Because of their explicit time-dependence, these quantities cannot be calculated directly from QCD using Monte Carlo simulations. For...

The nucleon is a complex composite object. Its structure, the dynamics of its constituents and its mass presently cannot be calculated from Quantum Chromo Dynamics without simplifying model assumptions. Momentum- and spin-dependent distributions of quarks and gluons have been determined with increasing precision through 50 years of deep inelastic lepton-proton scattering experiments and the...
