abstract

We calculate the unpolarised deep inelastic structure function of a relativistic deuteron within a covariant framework. An exact treatment of nucleon off-shell effects is shown to give corrections to the widely-used convolution model, even in impulse approximation. Neglecting off-shell effects in the extraction of the neutron structure function from deuterium data introduces errors of order $1-2\%$.

Nucleon parton distributions must include off-shell (binding) corrections to describe A=2,3 DIS data, with evidence for an isovector component that changes the extracted nuclear EMC ratios.
