Abstract

Nuclear shadowing corrections are dominated by soft interaction and grow as function of 1/x1/x more slowly than the single scattering term, which has an essential contribution from hard interaction. Therefore, we predict vanishing nuclear shadowing at very low xx provided that Q2Q^2 is high and fixed. At the same time, at medium and low Q2Q^2, nuclear shadowing grows with 1/x1/x as is well known for soft hadronic interactions.
