Update and Comparison of Nuclear Parton Distribution Functions and Neutrino DIS

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2012-06-12 v1 Nuclear Theory

Abstract

We compare the nuclear corrections factors from neutrino deep-inelastic scattering (DIS) with the ones coming from a standard analysis of nuclear parton distribution functions (nPDF). We focus on a discrepancy between the most precise neutrino DIS data from NuTeV and the nuclear PDF coming from the analysis of charged lepton DIS and Drell-Yan data.
