Abstract
The common view that structure functions measured in deep inelastic lepton scattering are determined by the probability distribution of quarks and gluons in the target is not correct. We show that the leading-twist cross section is affected by the rescattering of the struck quark in the target. This is consistent with the Glauber-Gribov interpretation of shadowing as a rescattering effect.
