Nuclear Deep-Inelastic Lepton Scattering and Coherence Phenomena

This review outlines our present experimental knowledge and theoretical nunderstanding of deep-inelastic scattering on nuclear targets. The emphasis is nprimarily on nuclear coherence phenomena, such as shadowing, where the key nphysics issue is the exploration of hadronic and quark-gluon fluctuations of a nhigh-energy virtual photon and their passage through the nuclear ..
