Abstract

Nuclear parton distribution functions are obtained by a chi2 analysis of lepton deep inelastic experimental data. It is possible to determine valence-quark distributions at medium x and antiquark distributions at small x; however, the distributions in other x regions and gluon distributions cannot be fixed. We need a variety of experimental data and also further analysis refinements.
