We review predictions of the theory of leading twist nuclear shadowing for inclusive unpolarized and polarized deuteron structure functions F_2^D, g_1^D and b_1^D and for the tagged deuteron structure function F_2^D(x,Q^2,\vec{p}). We…

Polarized proton-deuteron (pd) Drell-Yan processes are investigated for studying new spin structure of a spin-1 hadron. Our formalism indicates that there exist many structure functions: 108 in general and 22 in the \vec Q_T-integrated…

Elastic ed scattering, with deuteron polarization, up to high momentum transfer provides detailed information on the deuteron wave function. This determines the range dependence of the orbital and spin components of the one- and two-body…
We perform the isospin decomposition of proton and neutron SLAC data for moderately low $x$ in the region $0.01 \leq x \leq 0.1$. The isovector part is well described by a power behaviour $x^{\alpha}$, where $\alpha$ does not correspond to…
