Non-linear corrections to the derivative of nuclear reduced cross-section at small $x$ at a future electron-ion collider

Abstract

The determination of non-linear corrections to the nuclear distribution functions due to the HIJING parametrization within the framework of perturbative QCD, specifically the GLR-MQ equations, is discussed. We analyze the possibility of constraining the non-linear corrections present in distribution functions using the inclusive observables that will be measured in future electron-ion colliders (EIC and EICc). The results show that non-linear corrections play an important role in heavy nuclear reduced cross sections at low $x$ and low $Q^2$ values. We find that the non-linear corrections provide the correct behavior of the extracted nuclear cross sections and that our results align with data from the nCETQ15 parametrization group. We are currently discussing a satisfactory description of the non-linear corrections to the shadowing effect at small $x$.
