Particle production in deep inelastic scattering on nuclei is reduced due to absorption of the produced particles in the nucleus. The photon ejects a quark from a bound nucleon which propagates through the nucleus forming a prehadron before…

The $F_2$, $F_G$, $R = F_L/F_T$ proton structure functions are derived in the QCD dipole picture. Assuming $k_T$ and renormalization-group factorization, we relate deep-inelastic proton scattering to deep-inelastic onium scattering. We get…
Using the leading twist approach to nuclear shadowing, which is based on the relationship between nuclear shadowing and diffraction on a nucleon, we calculate next-to-leading order nuclear parton distribution functions (nPDFs) and structure…
