Abstract: (Elsevier)

We consider the differences in the structure function of a heavy nucleus, such as iron, compared to a light nucleus. We investigate, in the context of QCD, a suggestion that these differences arise as a result of differences in the scale of confinement of the nuclear constituents. This results in a simple relationship between heavy and light nucleus structure functions which is in reasonable agreement with experiment if the confinement size in iron is around 10–20% greater than in a free nucleon.
