| contents | A model for nuclear medium modification of parton densities is presented. The approach is based on the global analysis of available deep inelastic scattering data for different nuclear targets within the rescaling model combined with taking into account the effects of Fermi motion. The scale dependence is implemented into the DGLAP-evolved quark and gluon densities in a proton derived analytically at the leading order of QCD coupling. By fitting the rescaling parameters to experimental data on the ratio $F_2^A(x,Q^2)/F_2^{A^\prime}(x,Q^2)$ for several nuclear targets $A$ and $A^\prime$, we obtain redictions for nuclear parton distributions, even for unmeasured nuclei. The effects of nuclear modifications are investigated with respect to the mass number $A$. Our results highlight distinct shadowing and antishadowing behaviors for gluons and quarks. |
