Short-Range Correlations and the EMC Effect in Effective Field Theory

We show that the empirical linear relation between the magnitude of the EMC effect in deep inelastic scattering on nuclei and the short-range correlation scaling factor a₂ extracted from high-energy quasielastic scattering at x≥1 is a natural consequence of scale separation and derive the relationsh...
