Abstract

A model for shadowing in nuclear structure functions at small x and small or moderate Q² is presented using the relation with diffraction that arises from Gribov's reggeon calculus. A reasonable description of the experimental data is obtained with no fitted parameters. A comparison with predictions from other models is performed.
