Note on Shadowing and Diffraction in Deep-Inelastic Lepton Scattering

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2009-10-31 v1

Abstract

We discuss the close relation between shadowing in deep-inelastic lepton-nucleus scattering and diffractive photo- and leptoproduction of hadrons from free nucleons. We show that the magnitude of nuclear shadowing at small Bjorken-x, as measured by the E665 and NMC collaborations, is directly related to HERA data on the amount of diffraction in the scattering from free nucleons.
