A new measurement of the EMC effect in 9Be, 10B, and 11B.

ORAL

Abstract

Experiment E12-10-008 will measure inclusive electron scattering from a large range of nuclei to obtain their nuclear structure function. The experiment aims to extract the ratio of the structure function to deuterium to measure the EMC effect. Part of the experiment was carried out in Hall C at JLab, during spring 2018, acquiring data on Be, 10B, 11B, and C. This experiment is the first measurement of the EMC ratio for the light nuclei 10B and 11B, which will help test the idea that the local nuclear density plays an important role in quark modification in the nuclear medium. In this talk, I will be showing some preliminary results and our current analysis.
