TLDR
In this article, the authors present experimental knowledge and theoretical understanding of deep-inelastic scattering on nuclear targets, focusing mainly on nuclear coherence phenomena, such as shadowing, where the key physics issue is the exploration of hadronic and quark-gluon fluctuations of a high-energy virtual photon and their passage through the nuclear medium.

Nucleon-nucleon correlations, short-lived excitations, and the quarks within

TL;DR: In this paper, the EMC effect for valence quarks, a reduction in the Deep Inelastic Scattering (DIS) cross-section ratios for nuclei relative to deuterium, and its possible connection to nucleon-nucleon Short-Range Correlations (SRC) in nuclei are discussed.

Nucleon and hadron structure changes in the nuclear medium and the impact on observables

TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of hadron structure changes in a nuclear medium using the quark-meson coupling (QMC) model is studied, which is based on a mean field description of non-overlapping nucleon (or baryon) bags bound by the self-consistent exchange of scalar and vector mesons in the isoscalar and isovector channels.

Leading twist nuclear shadowing phenomena in hard processes with nuclei

TL;DR: The leading twist theory of nuclear shadowing was proposed in this article, which is based on the combination of the Gribov-Glauber theory, QCD factorization theorems, and the HERA QCD analysis of diffraction in lepton-proton deep inelastic scattering (DIS).

Semihard processes in QCD

TL;DR: In this article, the effects of parton-parton interactions (screenings), that stop the increase of the cross sections near their unitarity limit, and the coherent emission of soft gluons by the global colour charge of whole groups of harder particles, are studied in detail.

Quantum chromodynamics and other field theories on the light cone

TL;DR: In this paper, the light-cone quantization of quantum field theory has been studied from two perspectives: as a calculational tool for representing hadrons as QCD bound states of relativistic quarks and gluons, and also as a novel method for simulating quantum field theories on a computer.

Gluon Recombination and Shadowing at Small Values of x

TL;DR: In this article, a modified Altarelli-Parisi equation expressing this recombination was given, and it was shown that recombination is very small compared to normal evolution in all interesting circumstances except that of nuclear shadowing.
