چکیده
We discuss shadowing corrections to the structure function F2 in neutrino deep-inelastic scattering on heavy nuclear targets. In particular, we examine the role played by shadowing in the comparison of the structure functions F2 measured in neutrino and muon deep inelastic scattering. The importance of shadowing corrections in the determination of the strange quark distributions

Nuclear Corrections in Neutrino Deep Inelastic Scattering and the Extraction of the Strange Quark Distribution
Recent measurement of the structure function F ν 2 in neutrino deep inelastic scattering allows us to compare structure function measured in neutrino and charged lepton scattering for the first time with reasonable precision. The comparison between neutrino and muon structure functions made by the CCFR Collaboration indicates that there is a discrepancy between these structure functions at smal...
متن کاملComparison of Neutrino and Muon Structure Functions, Shadowing Corrections and Charge Symmetry Violation
Comparison of structure functions measured in neutrino and charged lepton deep inelastic scattering can be used to test basic properties of parton distribution functions such as the validity of charge symmetry. Recent experiments indicate a substantial discrepancy between F ν 2 and F 2 in the region of small Bjorken-x. We discuss nuclear corrections and strange and anti strange quark effects an...
متن کاملDetermination of Strange Sea Distributions from νN Deep Inelastic Scattering
We present an analysis of the nucleon strange sea extracted from a global Parton Distribution Function fit including the neutrino and anti-neutrino dimuon data by the CCFR and NuTeV collaborations, the inclusive charged lepton-nucleon Deep Inelastic Scattering and Drell-Yan data. The (anti-)neutrino induced dimuon analysis is constrained by the semi-leptonic charmed-hadron branching ratio Bμ = ...
متن کاملNuclear PDFs from neutrino deep inelastic scattering
We study nuclear effects in charged current deep inelastic neutrino–iron scattering in the framework of a χ-analysis of parton distribution functions. We extract a set of iron PDFs and show that under reasonable assumptions it is possible to constrain the valence, light sea and strange quark distributions. We compare our results with nuclear parton distribution functions from the literature and...
متن کاملStrange Form Factors in Neutrino Scattering
The determination of the strange quark contribution to the nucleonic axial and vector weak currents has raised large and continuous interest in theoretical and experimental physics, especially after the measurements of the polarised structure function g 1 of the proton, which indicated a non–zero contribution of the strange quark to the proton spin. In recent years, intermediate energy physics ...
