Nuclear Physics A 00 (2014) 1–8 Global analysis of nuclear PDFs – latest developments

In this review talk I discuss the latest developments in the DGLAP-based global analysis of nuclear parton dis-tribution functions (nPDFs), focusing on the recent EPS09, nCTEQ and DSSZ global fits. I also briefly review the recent analysis for assigning a spatial dependence to the globally analysed nPDFs, resulting in the new sets EPS09s and EKS98s (”s ” for spatial). With these, one can now compute nuclear hard-process cross sections and estimate their nPDF-originating uncertainties in different centrality classes for the first time consistently with the global nPDF fits
