Nuclear Shadowing at Small x and Q^2

Abstract

Shadowing corrections to structure functions of heavy nuclei are calculated at very low values of Bjorken-xx and at values of the momentum transfer relevant to recent experiments. Good agreement is obtained with data from the E665 Collaboration for Xe/D and Pb/D, and with the NMC data on Ca/D and C/D structure function ratios. Corrections to the deuteron structure function are also estimated down to x105x \sim 10^{-5}, and found to be less than about 3%3\% over the range of xx covered by the E665 data.
