1204.3797 (Daniel de Florian et al.)

Global Analysis of Nuclear PDFs    [PDF]

Daniel de Florian, Rodolfo Sassot, Marco Stratmann, Pia Zurita
We present a new global QCD analysis of nuclear parton distribution functions. In addition to the most commonly analyzed data sets for deep inelastic scattering of charged leptons off nuclei and Drell Yan di-lepton production, we include also measurements for neutrino-nuclei scattering as well as inclusive pion production in deuteron-gold collisions. The emerging picture is one of consistency, where universal nuclear modification factors for each parton flavor reproduce the main features of all data without any significant tension among the different sets.
