Resummed QCD Power Corrections to Nuclear Shadowing

Abstract

We calculate and resum a perturbative expansion of nuclear enhanced power corrections to the structure functions measured in deeply inelastic scattering of leptons on a nuclear target. Our results for the Bjorken xx-, Q2Q^2- and AA-dependence of nuclear shadowing in F2A(x,Q2)F_2^A(x,Q^2) and the nuclear modifications to FLA(x,Q2)F_L^A(x,Q^2), obtained in terms of the QCD factorization approach, are consistent with the existing data. We demonstrate that the low-Q2Q^2 behavior of these data and the measured large longitudinal structure function point to a critical role for the power corrections when compared to other theoretical approaches.
