Description
The ratio of the structure function F2/sup A/(x) of a nucleus A to that of deuterium F2/sup D/(x) is computed for A = Fe, Al, 12C, and 4He. The difference between scattering off free and bound nucleons is explained by a fraction g of the valence quarks of nuclear matter moving effectively in bags of doubled size (e.g., α's). The difference between European Muon Collaboration and SLAC data is attributed to the different effective quark mass, which is close to zero at -q2 = 100 GeV2, but 140 +- 25 MeV, at <-q2> = 3 GeV2. A cluster probability of g = 15% (10%) fits the Fe (Al) data quite well
