Abstract

We describe nuclear effects in structure functions of nuclei in DIS by means of a multiplicative factor \(\beta _A(x)\) which differentiates the structure function of the bound nucleons from that of the free nucleons. Our analysis determines that \(\beta _A (x)\) establishes a relation between the quark-gluon dynamics expressed by the bound nucleon structure functions and the nuclear dynamics as described by the well-known semi-empirical Bethe-Weizsäcker mass formula. This relation corroborates a connection between the underlying quark-gluon dynamics and the phenomenological nuclear dynamics.
