We extend the QCD Parton Model analysis using a factorized nuclear structure model incorporating individual nucleons and pairs of correlated nucleons. Our analysis of high-energy data from lepton deep-inelastic scattering, Drell-Yan, and W and Z boson production allows for extracting of "traditional" nuclear parton distribution functions (nPDFs) but also of the universal effective distribution of quarks and gluons inside the correlated nucleon pairs, and their nucleus-specific fractions.
