Nuclear shadowing in deep inelastic scattering on nuclei at low and medium Q^2

Abstract

Nuclear shadowing corrections to the structure functions of deep inelastic scattering of intermediate-mass nuclei are calculated at very low values of Bjorken x and small values of Q^2 (Q^2<5 GeV^2). The two-component approach (generalized VMD plus hard pomeron) is used for a description of the underlying virtual photon - nucleon interaction. The hard component of the nucleon structure function is calculated in a framework of the colour dipole model with dipole cross section having Regge-type energy dependence. Numerical results for nuclear shadowing corrections are compared with available data of E665 and NMC collaborations.
