Abstract
It is shown that in semi-inclusive deep inelastic scattering (DIS) of
electrons off complex nuclei, the detection, in coincidence with the scattered
electron, of a nucleus (A-1) in the ground state, as well as of a nucleon and a
nucleus (A-2), also in the ground state, may provide unique information on several
long standing problems, such as: i) the nature and the relevance of the final state
interaction in DIS; ii) the validity of the spectator mechanism in DIS; iii) the
medium induced modifications of the nucleon structure function; iv) the origin of
the EMC effect.
