Abstract
Gribov theory is applied to investigate the shadowing effects in the s tructure functions of nuclei. In this approach these effects are relat ed to the process of diffractive dissociation of a virtual photon. A m odel for this diffractive process, which describes well the HERA data, is used to calculate the shadowing in nuclear structure functions. A reasonable description of the x; Q(2) and A-dependence of nuclear shad owing is achieved.
