“…So far, the only such measurements are ratios of Ne to D [19][20][21], but these are rarely used because of large statistical uncertainties and model-dependent extraction from a mixed H-Ne target. In this Letter, we report the first measurement of inclusive charged-current neutrino cross section ratios of C, Fe, and Pb to scintillator (CH) as functions of neutrino energy E ν and x.…”

We present measurements of νµ charged-current cross section ratios on carbon, iron, and lead relative to a scintillator (CH) using the fine-grained MINERvA detector exposed to the NuMI neutrino beam at Fermilab. The measurements utilize events of energies 2 < Eν < 20 GeV, with Eν = 8 GeV, which have a reconstructed µ − scattering angle less than 17• to extract ratios of inclusive total cross sections as a function of neutrino energy Eν and flux-integrated differential cross sections with respect to the Bjorken scaling variable x. These results provide the first high-statistics direct measurements of nuclear effects in neutrino scattering using different targets in the same neutrino beam. Measured cross section ratios exhibit a relative depletion at low x and enhancement at large x. Both become more pronounced as the nucleon number of the target nucleus increases. The data are not reproduced by GENIE, a conventional neutrino-nucleus scattering simulation, or by the alternative models for the nuclear dependence of inelastic scattering that are considered.

“…hydrogen tank upstream of the detector, also reported no significant difference between the structure functions for hydrogen and iron [64]. Following these two experiments, several other neutrino-nucleus scattering experiments, namely the E545 Collaboration [65], WA25, and WA59 collaborations [66], performed additional measurements of neutrino DIS cross sections on neon and deuterium. Their results also confirmed the EMC results in 0.3 < x < 0.6.…”

“…In fact the EMC effect originates from an essential difference between the PDFs of free nucleons and those of the bounded ones in nucleus. Several theoretical models, such as [5,6]: the pion excess model [7][8][9][10][11][12], the deconfinement model [7,13], the a e-mail: hnematollahi@uk.ac.ir (corresponding author) quark exchange model (QEM) [14,15], the cluster model [7,16,17] and the rescaling model [7,[18][19][20][21], have been suggested to study the nuclear PDFs and describe the EMC effect, which has been measured [6] in the Drell-Yan process [7,[22][23][24][25][26], charged lepton-nucleus scattering [27][28][29][30][31][32] and neutrino-nucleus scattering processes [33][34][35][36][37][38]. We have already probed the structure of light nuclei applying the chiral quark exchange model [39] and also investigated the role of nuclear corrections on the structure function and the EMCratio of deuteron [40].…”

We investigate the transverse momentum dependence of valence and sea quark distribution functions of light asymmetric nuclei (3 He and 7 Li). To this end, we first calculate the valence and sea distributions of these nuclei applying a parametrization method in which the parton distribution functions (PDFs) of nucleus are related to those of free nucleon via a weight function that contains the nuclear modifications. Then we obtain the unpolarized transverse momentum dependent (TMD) PDFs of the nucleus using the covariant parton model (CPM) approach. We also compute the valence and sea quark distributions ratios of 3 He and 7 Li to those of deuteron and present the results with respect to x (Bjorken variable) at fixed values of transverse momentum. It is found that these ratios shift to the larger values of x by increasing the transverse momentum value as expected and they are not transverse momentum dependent in large x region.
