Abstract
We analyze the CCFR collaboration iron target data on the xF3 structure function making particular emphasis on the extraction of the higher twist contributions from data. Corrections for nuclear effects are applied in order to extract data on the structure function of the isoscalar nucleon. Our analysis confirms the observation made earlier, that the higher twist terms depend strongly on the level to which QCD perturbation theory analysis is applied. We discuss the impact of nuclear effects on the higher twist term as well as on the QCD scale parameter Lambda_{\bar{MS}} extracted from the fit to data.
