Abstract:

The Bessel-inspired behavior of parton densities at small Bjorken x values, obtained in the case of the flat initial conditions for DGLAP evolution equations, is used along with “frozen” and analytic modifications of the strong coupling constant to study the so-called EMC effect. Among other results, this approach allowed predicting small x behavior of the gluon density in nuclei, which is in agreement with other studies. The antishadowing effect is also observed at x \sim 0.1.
