Nucleon structure at large x: nuclear effects in deuterium

Description

I review quark momentum distributions in the nucleon at large momentum fractions x. Particular attention is paid to the impact of nuclear effects in deuterium on the d/u quark distribution ratio as x → 1. A new global study of parton distributions, using less restrictive kinematic cuts in Q2 and W2, finds strong suppression of the d quark distribution once nuclear corrections are accounted for.
