We study implications of a model, which links nuclear and nucleon structure functions. Computed Callen-Gross functions $\kappa^A(x,Q^2)= 2xF_1^A(x,Q^2)/F_2^A(x,Q^2)$ appear for finite $Q^2$ to be close to their asymptotic value 1. Using…

We study the heavy-quark contributions to the proton structure functions $F_2^i(x,Q^2)$ and $F_L^i(x,Q^2)$, with $i=c,b$, for small values of Bjorken's $x$ variable and provide compact formulas for their ratios $R_i=F_L^i/F_2^i$ that are…
We discuss effect of nuclear shadowing in neutrino deep-inelastic scattering in terms of non perturbative parton model. We found that for small Bjorken $x$ and large $Q^2$ the structure function $F_3$ is shadowed in nuclei about two times…
