  The deep inelastic scattering cross section for scattering from bound
nucleons differs from that of free nucleons.This phenomena, first discovered 30
years ago, is known as the EMC effect and is still not fully understood. Recent
analysis of world data showed that the strength of the EMC effect is linearly
correlated with the relative amount of Two-Nucleon Short Range Correlated pairs
(2N-SRC) in nuclei. The latter are pairs of nucleons whose wave functions
overlap, giving them large relative momentum and low center of mass momentum,
where high and low is relative to the Fermi momentum of the nucleus. The
observed correlation indicates that the EMC effect, like 2N-SRC pairs, is
related to high momentum nucleons in the nucleus. This paper reviews previous
studies of the EMC-SRC correlation and studies its robustness. It also presents
a planned experiment aimed at studying the origin of this EMC-SRC correlation.
