Shadowing in deuterium and the small-- $x$ limit of $F_{2}^{n} / F_{2}^{p}$ and $F_{2}^{p} - F_{2}^{n}$

Abstract

We discuss the updated NMC determination of $F_{2}^{n} / F_{2}^{p}$ and $F_{2}^{p} - F_{2}^{n}$ . Shadowing effects in deuterium make the structure functions determined by the NMC sensibly different from the true ones in the low-- $x$ region. We show that the departure of $F_{2}^{n} / F_{2}^{p}$ and $F_{2}^{p} - F_{2}^{n}$ from the Regge expectations at small $x$ observed by the NMC likely disappears if one takes into account the shadowing corrections.
