Nuclear Shadowing at Small x and Q^2

Abstract
Shadowing corrections to structure functions of heavy nuclei are calculated at very low values of Bjorken-$x$ and at values of the momentum transfer relevant to recent experiments. Good agreement is obtained with data from the E665 Collaboration for Xe/D and Pb/D, and with the NMC data on Ca/D and C/D structure function ratios. Corrections to the deuteron structure function are also estimated down to $x \sim 10^{-5}$, and found to be less than about $3\%$ over the range of $x$ covered by the E665 data.
