Abstract
We study nuclear effects of charged current deep inelastic neutrino-iron scattering in the framework of a χ 2 analysis of parton distribution functions (PDFs). We extract a set of iron PDFs which are used to compute xBj-dependent and Q 2 -dependent nuclear correction factors for iron structure functions which are required in global analyses of free nucleon PDFs. We compare our results with nuclear correction factors from neutrino-nucleus scattering models and correction factors for l ± -iron scattering. We find that, except for very high xBj, our correction factors differ in both shape and magnitude from the correction factors of the models and charged-lepton scattering.
