Flavor-dependent EMC effect from a nucleon swelling model

Abstract

We present our results for a flavor-dependent EMC effect based on the nIMParton nuclear PDFs, in which the xx-dependence is described with a nucleon swelling model. The nuclear correction from nucleon swelling is considered through a modification of the initial valence quark distributions instead of a dynamical rescaling. To probe the flavor-dependence of the model, the experimental observables are calculated applying nIMParton nuclear modifications for various experiments: parity-violating deep inelastic scattering on nuclear target, pion-induced Drell-Yan, and W-boson production in proton-nucleus collisions. In addition, we present the expected effect for the spectator-tagged deep inelastic scattering process, which will be performed by the CLAS12 collaboration with the ALERT detector.
