This effect at small $x$, comparable in magnitude to those reported for shadowing, is driven mainly by kinematic factors and essentially vanishes for $x > .1$. Its unusual $Q^2$ dependence rather complicates the unravelling from present data in the shadowing region the corresponding dependence in $Q^2$ of the nuclear structure functions, $F_2^{A}(x,Q^2)$.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "1993-09-27T18:23:44.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "dependence", "higher-twist nuclear enhancement", "nuclear structure functions", "kinematic factors", "fermi motion" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Phys.
