Nuclear medium effects in the weak structure functions F{sub 2}(x,Q{sup 2}) and F{sub 3}(x,Q{sup 2}) have been studied for deep inelastic neutrino/antineutrino reactions in iron nucleus by taking into account Fermi motion, binding, pion and rho meson cloud contributions, target mass correction, shadowing and anti-shadowing corrections. The calculations have been performed in a local density approximation using relativistic nuclear spectral functions which include nucleon correlations. Using these structure functions we have obtained the ratio R{sub F2,F3}{sup A}(x,Q{sup 2}) = (2F{sub 2,3}{sup A}(x,Q{sup 2})/AF{sub 2,3}{sup D}(x,Q{sup 2})), the differential scattering cross section (1/E)(d{sup 2}{sigma}/dxdy) and the total scattering cross section {sigma}. The results of our numerical calculations in {sup 56}Fe are compared with the experimental results of NuTeV and CDHSW collaborations.
