The evolution of small-$x$ gluons is investigated within the semiclassical approximation. The method of characteristics is used to evaluate the shadowed distributions in low-$Q$ and small-$x$ region. In solving the modified evolution equation, we model in simultaneously fusions from independent constituents and from the same constituent, both in a proton and in a large loosely bound nucleus of $A\\sim 200$. In addition to the actual distributions at small $x$, we study the ratios of the distributions at an initial scale $Q_0 = 2$ GeV, and show that a strong nuclear shadowing can follow from the modified QCD evolution.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "1993-07-26T21:18:42.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "heavy nuclei", "perturbative gluon shadowing", "modified qcd evolution", "large loosely bound nucleus", "modified evolution equation" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Phys.
