Abstract
The EMC effect has proved to be a stimulus for nuclear physics. Whatever the final word will be, it has triggered a number of investigations of great interest. Two schools of thought have emerged to interpret the EMC effect. The first one links it to some change in scale for a nucleon inside the nucleus, which entails the rescaling phenomenon [1]. This change in scale corresponds to a swelling of the nucleons, interpreted as a partial deconfinement of the valence quarks, a first step towards the total deconfinement of the quark-gluon plasma. This is a very exciting possibility, as it opens the way for a third generation of nuclear physics, after the traditional one and that of the meson degrees of freedom.
