The improved nuclear parton distributions
In this paper we propose an improvement of the EKS nuclear parton
distributions for the small x region of high energy processes, where the
perturbative high parton density effects cannot be disregarded. We analyze the
behavior of the ratios and and verify that at small x
they are strongly modified when compared to the EKS predictions. The
implications of our results for the heavy ion collisions in RHIC and LHC are
discussed.Comment: 16 pages, 2 figure
