We calculate the ratio of gluon densities, G^Sn(x)/G^C(x), for 0.01<x<0.1, from the new high statistics data on F_2^Sn/F_2^C taken by the NM Collaboration. For small x, the shadowing in the gluon distribution is about equal to the shadowing…

It is shown that the previously noted extreme perturbative NNLO/NLO instability of the longitudinal structure function F_L(x,Q^2) is a mere artefact of the commonly utilized `standard' gluon distributions. In particular it is demonstrated…
