Description
The strong scalar fields in a nuclear medium naturally lead to changes in the structure of the bound nucleons. This idea has been developed into a quantitatively successful theory of nuclear structure, which we will briefly review. However, it is vital to test the underlying idea, which is really a paradigm shift for nuclear science. The EMC effect is one of those ways and we will explain why the measurement of the polarized EMC effect in particular would be extremely valuable.
