Nuclear enhanced power corrections to DIS structure functions

Abstract

We calculate nuclear enhanced power corrections to structure functions measured in deeply inelastic lepton-nucleus scattering in Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD). We find that the nuclear medium enhanced power corrections at order of O(αs/Q2)O(\alpha_s/Q^2) enhance the longitudinal structure function FLF_L, and suppress the transverse structure function F1F_1. We demonstrate that strong nuclear effects in σA/σD\sigma_A/\sigma_D and RA/RDR_A/R_D, recently observed by HERMES Collaboration, can be explained in terms of the nuclear enhanced power corrections.
