We determine nuclear structure functions and quark distributions for $^7$Li, $^{11}$B, $^{15}$N and $^{27}$Al. For the nucleon bound state we solve the covariant quark-diquark equations in a confining Nambu--Jona-Lasinio model, which yields…
The determination of the spin distribution functions for the neutron requires an understanding of the changes induced by a nuclear medium. We present the first estimates of the changes induced in the spin-dependent, valence parton…
Nuclear effect in the neutrino-nucleus charged-Current inelastic scattering process is studied by analyzing the CCFR and NuTeV data. Structure functions $F_2(x,Q^2)$ and $xF_3(x,Q^2)$ as well as differential cross sections are calculated by…
We perform a new global QCD analysis of unpolarized parton distribution functions (PDFs) in the nucleon from proton, deuteron and $A=3$ data, including recent measurements of $^3$He/$D$ and $^3$H/$D$ cross section ratios from the MARATHON…
Starting from the old idea that Fermi statistics for quarks play a fundamental role to explain some features of hadron structure, we study the modification of the scaling behaviour of parton distributions due to quantum statistical effects.…
Effects of spin polarization on the structure of symmetric nuclear matter and pure neutron matter are investigated. We show that the spin polarization induces a deformation of the Fermi spheres for nucleons with spin parallel and opposite…
Nuclear Fermi momentum is a basic property of a nucleus where many nucleons dwell. However, in experiments only the nuclear Fermi momenta of just a few nuclei are measured using quasielastic electron scattering on the nuclear targets so…

The evolution of the nucleon structure as a function of atomic mass A is considered for the first time for the lightest nuclei, D, 3H, 3He and 4He, with an approach based on the Bethe-Salpeter formalism. We show that the pattern of the…
Since the discovery that the ratio of inclusive charged lepton (per-nucleon) cross sections from a nucleus A to the deuteron is not unity - even in deep inelastic scattering kinematics - a great deal of experimental and theoretical effort…
We present a connection between the modifications induced by the nuclear medium of the nucleon form factors and of the deep inelastic structure functions, obtained using the concept of generalized parton distributions. Generalized parton…

The observed correlation between the EMC effect and the contribution of short-range correlations (SRCs) in nuclei suggests that the modification of the quark distributions of bound protons and neutrons might occur within SRCs. This raises…
