A relative-entropy method with a minimum-relative-entropy hypothesis reproduces quark nPDF shapes from global fits and indicates that EPPS21 gluon central values align more closely with the hypothesis than nNNPDF3.0.

abstract
New Jefferson Lab data are presented on the nuclear dependence of the inclusive cross section from 2H, 3He, 4He, 9Be and 12C for 0.3<x<0.9, Q^2 approximately 3-6 GeV^2. These data represent the first measurement of the EMC effect for 3He at large x and a significant improvement for 4He. The data do not support previous A-dependent or density-dependent fits to the EMC effect and suggest that the nuclear dependence of the quark distributions may depend on the local nuclear environment.

Global fit finds u and d PDFs stable to x≈0.8 with positive isospin-independent higher-twist corrections and nonzero off-shell nucleon contributions required to describe nuclear data.
World data on isoscalar DIS cross-section ratios exhibit near-perfect cancellation of nuclear effects in the valence region 0.25 ≤ x ≤ 0.35 across nuclei.
