Abstract

We demonstrate that leading twist nuclear shadowing leads to large corrections for the extraction of the neutron structure function Fn2 from the future deuteron collider data both in the inclusive and in the tagged structure function modes. We suggest several strategies to address the extraction of Fn2 and to measure at the same time the effect of nuclear shadowing via the measurement of the distortion of the proton spectator spectrum in the semi-inclusive eD-->e'pX process.
