Abstract

We have studied nuclear structure functions F1A(x,Q2)F_{1A}(x,Q^2) and F2A(x,Q2)F_{2A}(x,Q^2) for electromagnetic and weak processes in the region of 1GeV2<Q2<8GeV21 GeV^2 < Q^2 <8 GeV^2. The nuclear medium effects arising due to Fermi motion, binding energy, nucleon correlations, mesonic contributions and shadowing effects are taken into account using a many body field theoretical approach. The calculations are performed in a local density approximation using a relativistic nucleon spectral function. The results are compared with the available experimental data. Implications of nuclear medium effects on the validity of Callan-Gross relation are also discussed.
