Description

From the most recent experimental data collected at CERN's Large Hadron Collider, it was realized that the outcome of high-energy proton-nucleus collisions is very sensitive to the fact that the nucleon positions in the nucleus fluctuate event by event. In order to be able to precisely extract from future measurements interesting properties of quantum chromodynamics in the strong field regime, we implement such fluctuations into theoretical predictions for electron-nucleus scattering and evaluate the impact that these predictions have on nuclear patron distribution functions.
