“…As can be seen from Table II, the results are compatible within uncertainties, thus allowing a unified treatment. 8 The values of χ 2 /d.o.f. indicate an excellent consistency between the model and the data points for all nuclei.…”

“…Another example is the determination of nuclear parton distribution functions which are universal high-momentum transfer characteristics of complex nuclei. Significant nuclear effects were discovered in charged lepton DIS experiments [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13]. These observations rule out a simple picture of a nucleus as a system of quasi-free nucleons and indicate that the nuclear environment plays an important role even at energies and momenta much larger than those involved in typical nuclear ground state processes.…”

“…The main experimental information on nuclear structure functions comes from chargedlepton scattering DIS experiments performed at CERN [2,3,4,5,6,7,8], SLAC [9,10], FNAL [11,12] and recently at JLab [13,23]. The measurements usually refer to the ratio R 2 of the structure function F 2 of two nuclei (usually a complex nucleus to deuterium).…”

We present the results of a phenomenological study of unpolarized nuclear structure functions for a wide kinematical region of x and Q 2 . As a basis of our phenomenology we develop a model which takes into account a number of different nuclear effects including nuclear shadowing, Fermi motion and binding, nuclear pion excess and off-shell correction to bound nucleon structure functions. Within this approach we perform a statistical analysis of available data on the ratio of the nuclear structure functions F 2 for different nuclei in the range from the deuteron to the lead. We express the off-shell effect and the effective scattering amplitude describing nuclear shadowing in terms of few parameters which are common to all nuclei and have a clear physical interpretation. The parameters are then extracted from statistical analysis of data. As a result, we obtain an excellent overall agreement between our calculations and data in the entire kinematical region of x and Q 2 . We discuss a number of applications of our model which include the calculation of the deuteron structure functions, nuclear valence and sea quark distributions and nuclear structure functions for neutrino charged-current scattering. * kulagin@ms2.inr.ac.ru † Roberto.Petti@cern.ch

We study nuclear effects in charged current deep inelastic neutrino-iron scattering in the framework of a 2 analysis of parton distribution functions (PDFs). We extract a set of iron PDFs and show that under reasonable assumptions it is possible to constrain the valence, light sea, and strange quark distributions. Our iron PDFs are used to compute x Bj -dependent and Q 2 -dependent nuclear correction factors for iron structure functions which are required in global analyses of free nucleon PDFs. We compare our results with nuclear correction factors from neutrino-nucleus scattering models and correction factors for ' -iron scattering. We find that, except for very high x Bj , our correction factors differ in both shape and magnitude from the correction factors of the models and charged-lepton scattering.

Abstract. We review a microscopic model of the nuclear parton distribution functions, which accounts for a number of nuclear effects including Fermi motion and nuclear binding, nuclear meson-exchange currents, off-shell corrections to bound nucleon distributions and nuclear shadowing. We also discuss applications of this model to a number of processes including lepton-nucleus deep inelastic scattering, proton-nucleus Drell-Yan lepton pair production at Fermilab, as well as W ± and Z 0 boson production in proton-lead collisions at the LHC.
