Contents Purposes Determination of Nuclear Parton Distribution Functions (NPDFs) (1) used data, 2 analysis method (2) results Nuclear modification effects on NuTeV sin2W (1) Paschos-Wolfenstein (PW) relation (2) valence-quark modification effects on the PW relation and sin2W
Why nuclear parton distribution functions? Basic interest to understand nuclear structure in the high-energy region, Determination of sin2W perturbative & non-perturbative QCD sin2W in neutrino scattering (NuTeV) (2)Practical purpose to describe hadron cross sections precisely heavy-ion reactions:quark-gluon plasma signature long-baseline neutrino experiments: nuclear effects in n + 16O
Parametrization of Nuclear Parton Distribution Functions Code for the obtained NPDFs could be obtained from http://hs.phys.saga-u.ac.jp/nuclp.html

Summary (1) 2 analysis for the nuclear PDFs, and their uncertainties. Valence quark: well determined except for the small-x region. Antiquark: determined at small x, large uncertainties at medium and large x. Gluon: large uncertainties in the whole-x region. (2) We provide nuclear PDFs for general users. http://hs.phys.saga-u.ac.jp/nuclp.html. (3) Effects on NuTeV sin2W progress (esp. error estimate) possibly (sin2W ) = 0.00X0.00X with a large error
