The main effect of massive neutrinos on the large-scale structure consists in a few percent suppression of matter perturbations on all scales below their free-streaming scale. Such effect is of particular importance as it allows to…
We investigate QCD coherence effects in deep inelastic scattering (DIS) off nuclei and in Drell-Yan (DY) dilepton production in proton-nucleus collisions within the light-cone color-dipole approach. The physical mechanisms underlying the…
Through an analysis of diffractive vector meson production, we show that the proton appears quite dense to a small size probe at present HERA energies. This means that saturation effects are already important.
The chiral-odd structure function h_{1}^D(x) and the tensor charge of the deuteron are studied within the Bethe-Salpeter formalism for the deuteron amplitude. Utilizing a simple model for the nucleon structure function, h_1^N, h_1^D(x) is…

Using the leading twist approach (LTA) to nuclear shadowing (NS), we calculate the ratio of the diffractive-to-total DIS cross sections $R_{\rm diff/tot}$ for a heavy nucleus and proton and confirm that $R_{\rm diff/tot} \approx 0.5-1$ in…

We argue that hadron production in coherent diffraction of proton on a heavy nucleus provides a very sensitive probe of the low-x QCD dynamics. This process probes the BFKL dynamics in proton and the non-linear gluon evolution in nucleus.…
Neutron structure functions can be extracted from proton and deuteron data and a representation of the deuteron structure. This procedure does not require DIS approximations or quark structure assumptions. We find that the results depend…

New scaling structure for the shadow corrections in elastic scattering from deuteron at high energies has been presented and discussed. It is shown that this structure corresponds to the experimental data on proton(antiproton)-deuteron…
We study Drell-Yan (DY) dilepton production in proton(deuterium)-nucleus and in nucleus-nucleus collisions within the light-cone color dipole formalism. This approach is especially suitable for predicting nuclear effects in the DY cross…

We calculate nuclear shadowing in lepton-deuteron deep inelastic scattering, which arises from the double scattering of the virtual photon from both nucleons in the deuteron. The total correction to the deuteron structure function is found…
