. This is the first measurement of the

He EMC effect that is purely in the Deep Inelastic Scattering region. The results of this experiment constitute an important, complimentary addition, to the limited data presently available for the EMC effect of light nuclei. The MARATHON results are compared to the world data for light, medium, and heavy nuclei. This measurement is considered an essential component to uncovering the nature of the EMC effect.
