Abstract

Shadowing corrections to structure functions of heavy nuclei are calculated at very low values of Bjorken-x and at values of the momentum transfer relevant to recent experiments. Good agreement is obtained with data from the E665 Collaboration for Xe/D and Pb/D, and with the NMC data on Ca/D and C/D structure function ratios. Corrections to the deuteron structure function are also estimated down to x 10-5, and found to be less than about 3\% over the range of x covered by the E665 data.
