An extended superscaling analysis of quasielastic electron scattering data is proposed by parametrizing the scaling function as the sum of a symmetric function corresponding to the emission of a single particle plus a contribution from the…
The dynamical origins of the EMC effect are studied. We conclude that a swelling in size of a bound nucleon as well as nuclear binding plays an important r\^ole in determining the parton distributions within a bound nucleon. We find that…
