Baryons in the Nuclear Medium

Abstract

Many QCD-based models predict changes in the structure of the bound nucleon in the nuclear medium. The changes of the nucleon wave function lead to changes in nucleon structure functions and electromagnetic form factors. While these in-medium form factors are not experimental observables, they provide a natural explanation of a variety of experimental results. I will review some of these findings and discuss upcoming experiments.
