Description
Over 40 years on from the observation of the modification of nucleons in nuclei, we are still working to pin down many of the properties of the EMC Effect. Many recent efforts, both theory and experiment, have focused on testing hypotheses in light nuclei as it has become feasible to perform exact calculations on these, relatively, simpler systems. Some of the most prominent questions studied as of late relate to whether the EMC Effect is isospin dependent, isovector dependent, and if photonuclear $R=\sigma_L/\sigma_T$ is truly universal. In this talk, I will show recent work at Jefferson Lab studying these questions as well as highlight upcoming experiments that aim to provide a more complete picture of these phenomena.
