First, the EMC effect is discussed together with possible interpretations such as nuclear binding and $Q^2$ rescaling. Next, we explain shadowing descriptions: vector-meson-dominance-type and parton-recombination models. Nuclear dependence of $Q^2$ evolution should be interesting in testing whether or not DGLAP equations could be applied to nuclear structure functions. Status of nuclear sea-quark and gluon distributions is discussed. The structure function $b_1$, which will be measured at HERMES and possibly at ELFE, could shed light on a new aspect of high-energy spin physics.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "1996-05-09T08:26:38.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "nuclear structure functions", "high-energy spin physics", "nuclear parton distributions", "parton-recombination models", "dglap equations" ], "note": { "typesetting": "LaTeX", "pages": 11, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "inspire": 418458, "adsabs": "1996hep.ph....5263K" } } }
