Abstract
A framework for including shadowing effects to quark and gluon production in very high energy nucleus-nucleus collisions is given. A formalism for impact parameter dependent nuclear structure functions of partons is introduced and, using two models to describe the average shadowing corrections to the parton number densities, the average numbers and the transverse energy spectrum of hard partons produced inU+U collisions at RHIC and LHC energies are computed. We conclude that shadowing and also the impact parameter dependence of structure functions should be taken into account at very high energies.
