Abstract: | Nuclear shadowing corrections are known to be dominated by soft interactions. They grow as function of 1/x more slowly than the single scattering term, which has an essential contribution from hard interactions. Therefore, we predict
that nuclear shadowing vanishes eventually at very lowx, provided thatQ
2 is high and fixed. At the same time, at medium and lowQ
2, nuclear shadowing grows with 1/x. Our formalism nicely explains also the recent NMC data onQ
2-dependence of the nuclear shadowing. The effect of gluon fusion is found to be of little importance for the nuclear structure
function in the available range ofx.
