Modelling the nuclear parton distributions

Abstract

We review a semi-microscopic model of nuclear parton distributions, which takes into account a number of nuclear effects including Fermi motion and nuclear binding, nuclear meson-exchange currents and off-shell corrections to bound nucleon distributions as well as nuclear shadowing effect. We also discuss applications of the model to the lepton-nuclear deep-inelastic scattering, Drell-Yan process and neutrino total cross sections.Comment: 8 pages, 5 figures, Invited talk at 17th International workshop on Advanced Computing and Analysis Techniques in physics research (ACAT 2016), 18-22 January 2016 UTFSM, Valpara\'iso (Chile), to appear in Proceedings. arXiv admin note: text overlap with arXiv:1512.0329
