Description
Nuclear structure functions at small x and small or moderate Q2 are studied using the relation with diffraction on nucleons which arises from Gribov's reggeon calculus. A reasonable description of the experimental data is obtained with no fitted parameters. A comparison with other models and predictions for future lepton-ion colliders are provided. Consequences for the reduction of multiplicities in nucleus-nucleus collisions at energies of RHIC and LHC are examined. (orig.)
