In the theory of deep inelastic scattering (DIS) the final state interaction (FSI) between the struck quark and the remnants of the target is usually assumed to be negligible in the Bjorken limit. This assumption, still awaiting a full…

A new scaling variable is introduced in terms of which nuclear shadowing in deep-inelastic scattering is universal, i.e. independent of $A$, $Q^2$ and $x$. This variable can be interpreted as a measure of the number of gluons probed by the…
The nucleon structure study in nuclear deep inelastic scattering is considered. It is shown that nuclear data provide a new source of information about dynamics of parton distributions in the nucleon. An example of the neutron structure…
