Nuclear effects in F_3 structure function of nucleon

TL;DR

This paper investigates nuclear modifications of the F_3 structure function in neutrino-nucleus deep inelastic scattering, using a relativistic spectral function approach to compare with experimental data and analyze nuclear effects.

Contribution

It introduces a relativistic framework for nucleon spectral functions to study nuclear effects in the F_3 structure function, providing detailed comparisons with existing experimental and theoretical results.

Findings

The ratio R(x,Q^2) shows significant nuclear modifications.

The Gross-Llewellyn Smith integral G(x,Q^2) is affected by nuclear effects.

Results align with recent experimental and phenomenological analyses.

Abstract

We study nuclear effects in the $F^A_3(x)$ structure function in the deep inelastic neutrino reactions on iron by using a relativistic framework to describe the nucleon spectral functions in the nucleus. The results for the ratio $R(x,Q^2)=\frac{F^A_3(x,Q^2)}{AF^N_3(x, Q^2)}$ and the Gross-Llewellyn Smith(GLS) integral $G(x,Q^2)=\int_x^1 dx F^A_3(x,Q^2)$ in nuclei are discussed and compared with the recent results available in literature from theoretical and phenomenological analyses of experimental data.
