Data from the CCFR E770 Neutrino Deep Inelastic Scattering (DIS) experiment at Fermilab contain events with large Bjorken x (x>0.7) and high momentum transfer (Q^2>50 (GeV/c)^2). A comparison of the data with a model based on no nuclear effects at large x, shows a significant excess of events in the data. Addition of Fermi gas motion of the nucleons in the nucleus to the model does not explain the excess. Adding a higher momentum tail due to the formation of ``quasi-deuterons makes some improvement. An exponentially falling F_2 propto e^-s(x-x_0) at large x, predicted by ``multi-quark clusters and ``few-nucleon correlations, can describe the data. A value of s=8.3 pm 0.7(stat.)pm 0.7(sys.) yields the best agreement with the data.

A new structure function analysis of CCFR deep inelastic nu-N and nubar-N scattering data is presented for previously unexplored kinematic regions down to Bjorken x=0.0045 and Q^2=0.3 GeV^2. Comparisons to charged lepton scattering data from NMC and E665 experiments are made and the behavior of the structure function F2_nu is studied in the limit Q^2 -> 0.
We have studied nuclear structure functions $F_{1A}(x,Q^2)$ and $F_{2A}(x,Q^2)$ for electromagnetic and weak processes in the region of $1 GeV^2 < Q^2 <8 GeV^2$. The nuclear medium effects arising due to Fermi motion, binding energy, nucleon correlat ions, mesonic contributions and shadowing effects are taken into account using a many body field theoretical approach. The calculations are performed in a local density approximation using a relativistic nucleon spectral function. The results are compared with the available experimental data. Implications of nuclear medium effects on the validity of Callan-Gross relation are also discussed.
The MINERvA collaboration reports a novel study of neutrino-nucleus charged-current deep inelastic scattering (DIS) using the same neutrino beam incident on targets of polystyrene, graphite, iron, and lead. Results are presented as ratios of C, Fe, a nd Pb to CH. The ratios of total DIS cross sections as a function of neutrino energy and flux-integrated differential cross sections as a function of the Bjorken scaling variable x are presented in the neutrino-energy range of 5 - 50 GeV. Good agreement is found between the data and predicted ratios, based on charged-lepton nucleus scattering, at medium x and low neutrino energies. However, the data rate appears depleted in the vicinity of the nuclear shadowing region, x < 0.1. This apparent deficit, reflected in the DIS cross-section ratio at high neutrino energy , is consistent with previous MINERvA observations and with the predicted onset of nuclear shadowing with the the axial-vector current in neutrino scattering.

We use soft-collinear effective theory (SCET) to study the factorization properties of deep inelastic scattering in the region of phase space where 1-x = O(Lambda_{QCD/Q}). By applying a regions analysis to loop diagrams in the Breit frame, we show t hat the appropriate version of SCET includes anti-hard-collinear, collinear, and soft-collinear fields. We find that the effects of the soft-collinear fields spoil perturbative factorization even at leading order in the 1/Q expansion.
High Q^2 NC and CC cross-sections as measured at HERA can give information on two distinct areas of current interest. Firstly, supposing that all the electroweak parameters are well known, these cross-sections may be used to give information on parto n distributions at high x and high Q^2. Secondly, supposing that parton distributions are well known, after evolution in Q^2 from the kinematic regime where they are already measured, these cross-sections can be used to give information on electroweak parameters in a process where the exchanged boson is `spacelike rather than `timelike. WG1 addressed itself to clarifying the limits of our present and possible future knowledge on both these areas.
