Abstract
High energy muon scattering experiments are an unique tool to study the quark gluon structure of nucleons and to investigate the role of quarks and gluons in nuclei. In this contribution, future experiments to measure the x and Q 2 dependence of the neutron structure function F 2 n and related quantities are discussed and a possible measurement of the spin dependent neutron structure function g 1 n. Some aspects of the experimental status of the EMC effect and its relevance to understand nuclear forces on a fundamental level are discussed with special emphasis to open and controversal questions which are the basis for an extensive muon nucleus physics programme to be performed during the following years at CERN and possibly at a future medium energy facility like EHF. The properties of a proposed 20 GeV muon beam at this machine are presented.
