Abstract
We study the nuclear shadowing effect in the context of Glauber-Gribov multiple-scattering model and perturbative QCD. We find that at small x, the evolution of the shadowing is much slower than the DGLAP evolution, due to the multiple scatterings at small x. We show that the gluon shadowing at small x and for is perturbative in nature and does not depend on the initial, non-perturbative condition. We evaluate the impact parameter dependence of the gluon distribution and show that it is a non-linear effect in the nuclear thickness function.
