dc.description.abstractFew-body systems offer a unique challenge to those interested in deep-inelastic scattering. Using the deuteron as the simplest and most easily solvable nuclear system we review the main physics issues in the valence and sea quark regimes. For the former the key issue is the understanding of Fermi motion and binding corrections, and our ability to extract the ratio Fn2/Fp2 as χ → 1. The most recent analysis of deuteron data for Fn2/Fp2 is consistent with perturbative QCD, but inconsistent with the assumptions common to all standard parton distribution fits. This should be taken into account in calculating event rates at HERA - especially at large χ and Q2. The extraction of gn1 also presents an opportunity to refine the description of nuclear effects in spin-dependent structure functions. In the region of small χ one must correct for shadowing and meson exchange current effects to explore the flavor structure of sea, which is, in turn, deeply related to the chiral structure of the nucleon.-
