Rescaling of Nuclear Structure Functions

Abstract

It is shown that nucleonic structure functions are $x-$ and $Q^2-$rescaled in nuclei. The $x-$rescaling accounts for nuclear effects in the case of exact scaling, while the $Q^2-$rescaling is responsible for a corresponding modification of quantum corrections. This result is obtained in the leading order for all flavour combinations and connects the two known models for the EMC-effect. Electroproduction and gluonic nuclear structure functions are calculated.
