Nuclear parton distributions from lepton-nucleus scattering and the impact of an electron-ion collider

Abstract We present a first determination of the nuclear parton distribution functions (nPDF) based on the NNPDF methodology: nNNPDF1.0. This analysis is based on neutral-current deep-inelastic structure function data and is performed up to NNLO in QCD calculations with heavy quark mass effects. For...
