We consider the nuclear shadowing in deep-inelastic scattering corresponding to kinematic regions accessible by future experiments at electron-ion colliders. The gluon distribution at small $x$ is obtained using an improved dipole model…

We evaluate the shadowing effect in deeply virtual and real Compton scattering on nuclei in the framework of the color dipole model. We rely on the soft photon wave function derived in the instanton vacuum model, and employ the impact…

We argue that current data on nuclear shadowing confirm expectations of the color singlet models of nuclear shadowing. We demonstrate that unitarity constrains require nuclear shadowing for gluons to be very significant already for $x \le…

We re-examine the role of vector meson dominance in nuclear shadowing at low Q^2. We find that models which incorporate both vector meson and partonic mechanisms are consistent with both the magnitude and the Q^2 slope of the shadowing…
