Weise %J Physics %D 1998 %I arXiv %R 10.1007/s100500050232 %X We discuss the close relation between shadowing in deep-inelastic lepton-nucleus scattering and diffractive photo- and leptoproduction of hadrons from free nucleons. We show that the magnitude of nuclear shadowing at small Bjorken-x, as measured by the E665 and NMC collaborations, is directly related to HERA data on the amount of diffraction in the scattering from free nucleons. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/hep-ph/9812341v1
