Calculations have been done in a local density approximation using relativistic nuclear spectral functions which include nucleon correlations. The ratios R-F2(A) (x, Q(2)) = 2F(2)(A)(x, Q(2))/AF(2)(D)(x, Q(2)) are obtained and compared with recent JLab results for light nuclei with special attention to the slope of the x distributions. This magnitude shows a non-trivial A dependence and it is insensitive to possible normalization uncertainties. The results have also been compared with some of the older experiments using intermediate mass nuclei.", optnote="ISI:000290607500004", optnote="exported from refbase (https://references.ific.uv.es/refbase/show.php?record=627), last updated on Thu, 18 Apr 2013 15:50:20 +0000", issn="0375-9474", doi="10.1016/j.nuclphysa.2011.03.008", opturl="http://arXiv.org/abs/arXiv:0910.4879", opturl="https://doi.org/10.1016/j.nuclphysa.2011.03.008", language="English" }
