The European Muon Collaboration (EMC) was a collaboration of particle physicists that conducted experiments at the CERN laboratory in Geneva, Switzerland, particularly focused on deep inelastic scattering of muons on nuclear targets. The collaboration was active primarily during the 1980s and played a significant role in advancing the understanding of the structure of nucleons and the behavior of quarks within protons and neutrons.
