Abstract

The errors made in theoretical approximations comparing the ratio of cross sections directly with the ratio of structure functions for two (nuclear) targets are examined in a reliable model for the nuclear distortion of parton structure functions. For direct photon and lepton pair production, this approximation for gluon and sea ratios, respectively, is good to better than 5% at x<0.2 and increases at larger x.
