Deep inelastic scattering cross sections have been measured with the CERN SPS muon beam at incident energies of 120 and 200 GeV. Approximately 100 000 events at each energy are used to obtain the structure function F 2 ( x , Q 2 ) in the kinematic region 0.3< x <0.7 and 25 GeV 2 < Q 2 <200 GeV 2 .

Results of inclusive measurements of inelastic electron and positron scattering from unpolarized protons and deuterons at the HERMES experiment are presented. The structure functions $F_2^p$ and $F_2^d$ are determined using a parameterization of existing data for the longitudinal-to-transverse virtual-photon absorption cross-section ratio. The HERMES results provide data in the ranges $0.006\leq x\leq 0.9$ and 0.1 GeV$^2\leq Q^2\leq$ 20 GeV$^2$, covering the transition region between the perturbative and the non-perturbative regimes of QCD in a so-far largely unexplored kinematic region. They are in agreement with existing world data in the region of overlap. The measured cross sections are used, in combination with data from other experiments, to perform fits to the photon-nucleon cross section using the functional form of the ALLM model. The deuteron-to-proton cross-section ratio is also determined.
Results on the differential Born cross section $\frac{d^2\sigma^p}{dx\,dQ^2}$ and $F_2^p$. The statistical uncertainty $\delta_{stat.}$ and the systematic uncertainties $\delta_{PID}$ (particle identification), $\delta_{model}$ (model dependence outside the acceptance), $\delta_{mis.}$ (misalignment), and $\delta_{rad.}$ (Bethe-Heitler efficiencies) are given in percent. Corresponding $x$ bin numbers and $Q^2$ bin numbers and the average values $\langle x \rangle$ and $\langle {Q^2} \rangle$ are listed in the first four columns. The overall normalization uncertainty is 7.6 %. The structure function $F_2^p$ is derived using the parameterization $R=R_{1998}$.

Results on the inelastic Born cross-section ratio ${\sigma^d}/{\sigma^p}$. The statistical uncertainty $\delta_{stat.}$, the systematic uncertainty $\delta_{rad.}$ due to radiative corrections and $\delta_{model}$ due to the model dependence outside the acceptance are given in percent. The average values of $x$ and $Q^2$ are listed in the first two columns. The overall normalization uncertainty is 1.4$\%$.
A measurement of the virtual-photon asymmetry A_2(x,Q^2) and of the spin-structure function g_2(x,Q^2) of the proton are presented for the kinematic range 0.004 < x < 0.9 and 0.18 GeV^2 < Q^2 < 20 GeV^2. The data were collected by the HERMES experiment at the HERA storage ring at DESY while studying inclusive deep-inelastic scattering of 27.6 GeV longitudinally polarized leptons off a transversely polarized hydrogen gas target. The results are consistent with previous experimental data from CERN and SLAC. For the x-range covered, the measured integral of g_2(x) converges to the null result of the Burkhardt-Cottingham sum rule. The x^2 moment of the twist-3 contribution to g_2(x) is found to be compatible with zero.

Multiplicities in semi-inclusive deep-inelastic scattering are presented for each charge state of \pi^\pm and K^\pm mesons. The data were collected by the HERMES experiment at the HERA storage ring using 27.6 GeV electron and positron beams incident on a hydrogen or deuterium gas target. The results are presented as a function of the kinematic quantities x_B, Q^2, z, and P_h\perp. They represent a unique data set for identified hadrons that will significantly enhance our understanding of the fragmentation of quarks into final-state hadrons in deep-inelastic scattering.

The high mass μ + μ − pairs produced by 280 GeV μ + on a carbon target are studied in a search for the Y production. The high mass continuum in the region 2–18 GeV is interpreted in terms of QED pair production and of μ pairs originating from the decay of hidden and open charm particles as well as of hadrons ( π , K) from deep inelastic interactions. The upper limit for the upsilon production by muons is found to be, at the 90% confidence level, σ γ ·(γ→μ + μ − )<13·10 −39 cm 2 /nucleon.
