Nuclear Parton Densities and Structure Functions
We calculate nuclear parton distribution functions (PDFs), using the
constituent quark model. We find the bounded valon distributions in a nuclear
to be related to free valon distributions in a nucleon. By using improved
bounded valon distributions for a nuclear with atomic number and the
partonic structure functions inside the valon, we can calculate the nuclear
structure function in space. The results for nuclear structure-function
ratio at some values of are in good agreement with the
experimental data.Comment: To be published in Int. Journal of Modern Phys.
