  We consider deep inelastic scattering (DIS) on a nucleus described using a
density expansion. In leading order, the scattering is dominated by the
incoherent scattering on individual nucleons distributed using the Thomas-Fermi
approximation. We use the holographic structure functions for DIS scattering on
single nucleons to make a non-perturbative estimate of the nuclear structure
function in leading order in the density. Our results are compared to the data
in the large-x regime.
