Description

Nuclear Parton Distribution Functions (nPDFs) are the non-perturbative objects that describe the behavior of partons in a nuclear medium, a natural extension of the free proton PDFs. Despite more than three decades of thorough study, the picture of nPDFs is far from being complete. In this talk I will present the current status of our knowledge and briefly discuss how current and future experiments can help broaden our understanding of matter.
