Evolution of the EMC Effect in Light Nuclei

Abstract

The evolution of the EMC effect as a function of atomic mass AA is considered for the first time for the lightest nuclei, D, 3H^3H, 3He^3He and 4He^4He, with an approach based on the Bethe-Salpeter formalism. We show that the pattern of the oscillation of the ratio rA(x)=F2A/F2N(D)r^A(x) = F_2^A/F_2^N(D) varies with AA, unlike the pattern for nuclei with masses A>4A > 4, where only the amplitude of the oscillation changes.
