Abstract
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.
