The Origin of the Generalized EMC Effect

Here, using the Scale-Symmetric Theory (SST), we show that the size of the EMC effect per nucleon in different nuclei depends on a mean of local inertias for the nuclei and that the generalized EMC effect concerns the virtual nuclear field in nucleons. We described also the shadowing region, the dip, and the two plateaux. We predict that for nuclei at least such heavy as iron, there should be a point/strong-signal for the Bjorken x = 3.2 and the EMC ratio 4.8. We show that the dependence of nuclear binding energy on mass-number is a result of modification of the virtual nuclear weak field and that the proton magnetic and electric polarizability radii play the key role.
