Description
The structure function F2 and hence the quark and gluon distributions of a nucleon bound in a nucleus differ from those of a free nucleon. This phenomenon, first observed about 25 years ago by the European Muon Collaboration (EMC) at CERN in deep-inelastic muon-nucleus scattering, has since then stimulated a wide range of experimental and theoretical activities. The experimental results and a selection of models proposed for their interpretation will be reviewed. An outlook will be given on future experiments that aim for a better understanding of the dynamical mechanisms responsible for the effect.
