Abstract
The ratio of deep-inelastic structure functions of nuclear targets to the sum of free neutron and proton structure functions has been calculated using a modified form of the Atwood-West technique for deuterium. Fermi-gas momentum distributions were used with modifications to include high-momentum tails resulting from nucleon-nucleon correlations. Tables of smearing ratios for , , and are given as a function of and for deuterium and several heavy nuclei. We find that for the scaling violations for heavy nuclei are smaller than those for free nucleons. The shapes of the antiquark distributions are also changed.
