Abstract
New Jefferson Lab data are presented on the nuclear dependence of the inclusive cross section from , , , and for , . These data represent the first measurement of the EMC effect for at large and a significant improvement for . The data do not support previous -dependent or density-dependent fits to the EMC effect and suggest that the nuclear dependence of the quark distributions may depend on the local nuclear environment.
