We calculate shadowing using new data on the gluon density of the Pomeron recently measured with high precision at HERA. The calculations are made in a Glauber-Gribov framework and Pomeron tree-diagrams are summed up within a…

Although at small Bjorken x gluons originated from different nucleons in a nucleus overlap in the longitudinal direction, most of them are still well separated in the transverse plane, therefore cannot fuse. For this reason the gluon…

We summarise existing experimental and theoretical knowledge on the structure function $F_2$ in the region of low $Q^2$ and low $x$. The constraints on the behaviour of structure functions in the limit $Q^2=0$ are listed. Phenomenological…

In this paper, the parametrization of the nuclear structure function which is directly constrained by the dynamics of QCD in its high-energy limit is considered. This simple parameterization of the nuclear structure function is obtained…

The cross section and the proton structure function F2 for neutral current deep inelastic e+p scattering have been measured with the ZEUS detector at HERA using an integrated luminosity of 30 pb-1. The data were collected in 1996 and 1997…

We compute diffractive structure functions for both protons and nuclei in the framework of Color Glass Condensate models with impact parameter dependence. These models have previously been shown to provide good agreement with inclusive F_2…

We have used the notion of the constituent quark model of nucleon, where a constituent quark carries its own internal structure, and applied it to determine nuclear structure functions ratios. It is found that the description of…

This review outlines our present experimental knowledge and theoretical understanding of deep-inelastic scattering on nuclear targets. The emphasis is primarily on nuclear coherence phenomena, such as shadowing, where the key physics issue…

The process of single diffractive dissociation off nuclei is considered on a basis of solutions to the nonlinear evolution equation. The relevant saturation scales $Q_{s A}^D(x,x_0)$ are determined and their dependences on Bjorken $x$,…

We discuss the implications of a strong enhancement of diffraction for multiproduction in DIS off nuclear targets. The predicted effects are large and observable at HERA. We present the prediction of a large tensor structure function b_2(x)…

The kinematic reconstruction of neutral current high Q^2 events at HERA is discussed in detail using as an example the recently published events of the H1 and ZEUS collaborations at Q^2 > 15000 GeV^2 and M > 180 GeV, which are more numerous…

I review hard photon initiated processes on nuclei. The space-time development of the DIS reaction as viewed in the target rest frame qualitatively describes the nuclear shadowing of quark and gluon distributions, although it may be…

We explore how nuclear modifications to the free nucleon structure functions (also known as shadowing) affect heavy quark production in collisions at different impact parameters. We assume that the nuclear modifications arise from a density…
