Description

New data from the HERA experiment on (diffractive) deep inelastic scattering have been used to parameterize the nucleon and pomeron structure functions. Within the Glauber-Gribov model, the parameterizations were employed to calculate gluon shadowing for various heavy ions. We compare our results to predictions from other models. Calculations for d+Au collisions at forward rapidities at ultra-relativistic energies have been made and are compared to RHIC data on the nuclear modification factor. The results for gluon shadowing are also confronted with recent data on the nuclear modification factor at √(s)=17.3 GeV at various values of the Feynman variable xF, and the energy dependence of the effect is discussed.
