We consider deep-inelastic lepton scattering, Drell-Yan lepton pair and heavy quark production in the reference frame of the target. These reactions traditionally treated as hard have, however, a substantial leading twist soft contribution.…
Gribov theory is applied to investigate the shadowing effects in the structure functions of nuclei. In this approach these effects are related to the process of diffractive dissociation of a virtual photon. A model for this diffractive…
The interaction of spatially small dipoles with nucleons, nuclei is calculated in the DGLAP approximation at the top of HERA energies and found to be close to the $S$-channel unitarity limit in the case of the color octet dipoles. The DGLAP…
We investigate shadowing effects in deep-inelastic scattering from nuclei at small values $x<0.1$ of the Bjorken variable. Unifying aspects of generalized vector meson dominance and color transparency we first develop a model for…
In the rest frame of the nucleus, shadowing is due to hadronic fluctuations of the incoming virtual photon, which interact with the nucleons. We expand these fluctuations in a basis of eigenstates of interaction and take only the $q\bar q$…
