Douglas Higinbotham, Gerald A Miller, Or Hen, and Klaus Rith
TL;DR
This paper discusses the enduring mystery of the EMC effect, a phenomenon observed in high-energy muon experiments at CERN that remains unexplained after three decades.
Contribution
It reviews the persistent challenges and unresolved questions surrounding the EMC effect, highlighting the need for new theoretical and experimental approaches.
Findings
The EMC effect has remained unexplained for over 30 years.
Experimental data continue to challenge existing theoretical models.
The paper emphasizes the importance of further research to understand the effect.
Abstract
Thirty years ago, high-energy muons at CERN revealed the first hints of an effect that puzzles experimentalists and theorists alike to this day.
