Mechanisms of spin-flavor SU(6) symmetry breaking in quantum chromodynamics (QCD) are studied via an extraction of the free neutron structure function from a global analysis of deep inelastic scattering (DIS) data on the proton and on nuclei from A=2 (deuterium) to 208 (lead). Modification of the structure function of nucleons bound in atomic nuclei (known as the EMC effect) are consistently accounted for within the framework of a universal modification of nucleons in short-range correlated…

Nucleon elastic form factors at accessible large spacelike momenta
A Poincar\'e-covariant quark+diquark Faddeev equation is used to compute nucleon elastic form factors on $0\leq Q^2\leq 18 \,m_N^2$ ($m_N$ is the nucleon mass) and elucidate their role as probes of

Correctly accounting for the Q(2) dependence of the data and calculations and restricting the nuclear corrections to microscopic models of the deuteron, the authors find a significantly smaller uncertainty in the extracted F(2n)/F(2p) ratio than in previous analyses.
