We demonstrate how the virtual photoproduction of vector mesons on nuclei scans the wave function of vector mesons from the large non-perturbative transverse size $\rho \sim R_{V}$ down to the small perturbative size $\rho \sim…
Quantum chromodynamics (QCD) is the theory of strong interactions of quarks and gluons collectively called partons, the basic constituents of all nuclear matter. Its non-abelian character manifests in nature in the form of two remarkable…

Various shadowing aspects of nuclear parton distributions are discussed in a parton-model framework. We explain existing $x$ dependent data of $F_2^A/F_2^D$, then the model is applied to a flavor asymmetry $\bar u-\bar d$ in a nucleus, to…
