Nuclear Shadowing and Diffraction

Abstract

The relation between diffraction in lepton-proton collisions and shadowing of nuclear structure functions which arises from Gribov inelastic shadowing, is described. A model realizing such relation, which produces a parameter-free description of experimental data on nuclear structure functions at small xx, is presented. The application to the description of multiplicities in nuclear collisions is discussed and related to other approaches.
