We report new results on a precision measurement of the ratio R=σLσT and the structure function F2 for deep-inelastic electron-nucleon scattering in the kinematic range 0.2≤x≤0.5 and 1≤Q2≤10 (GeV/c)2. Our results show, for the first time, a clear falloff of R with increasing Q2. Our R and F2 results are in good agreement with QCD predictions only when corrections for target-mass effects are included.

Measurement of the Difference in R = $\sigma^-$l / $\sigma^-$t and $\sigma$(a) / $\sigma(D$) in Deep Inelastic $e D$, $e$ Fe and $e$ Au Scattering

Inspire Record 260760 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.20155

We measured the differences in R=σLσT and the cross-section ratio σAσD in deep-inelastic electron scattering from D, Fe, and Au nuclei in the kinematic range 0.2≤x≤0.5 and 1≤Q2≤5 (Gev/c)2. Our results for RA−RD are consistent with zero for all x and Q2, indicating that possible contributions to R from nuclear higher-twist effects and spin-0 constituents in nuclei are not different from those in nucleons. The European Muon Collaboration effect is reconfirmed, and the low-x data from all recent experiments, at all Q2, are now in agreement.

A Comparison of the Deep Inelastic Structure Functions of Deuterium and Aluminum Nuclei

Bodek, A. ; Giokaris, N. ; Atwood, W.B. ; et al.
Phys.Rev.Lett. 51 (1983) 534, 1983.
Inspire Record 189856 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.20489

The deep-inelastic electromagnetic structure functions of deuterium and aluminum nuclei have been measured. The kinematic dependence of the ratio of aluminum and deuterium structure functions is similar to the dependence of the ratio of steel and deuterium structure functions, and provides further evidence for the distortion of the quark momentum distributions of nucleons bound in a nucleus.

Electron Scattering from Nuclear Targets and Quark Distributions in Nuclei

Bodek, A. ; Giokaris, N. ; Atwood, W.B. ; et al.
Phys.Rev.Lett. 50 (1983) 1431, 1983.
Inspire Record 188877 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.20553

The deep-inelastic electromagnetic structure functions of steel, deuterium, and hydrogen nuclei have been measured with use of the high-energy electron beam at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center. The ratio of the structure functions of steel and deuterium cannot be understood simply by corrections due to Fermi-motion effects. The data indicate that the quark momentum distributions in the nucleon become distorted in the nucleus. The present results are consistent with recent measurements with high-energy muon beams.

Measurements of the a-Dependence of Deep Inelastic electron Scattering from Nuclei

Arnold, R.G. ; Bosted, Peter E. ; Chang, C.C. ; et al.
Phys.Rev.Lett. 52 (1984) 727, 1984.
Inspire Record 193846 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.20435

The deep-inelastic electron-scattering cross sections per nucleon σA for D, He, Be, C, A1, Ca, Fe, Ag, and Au were measured in the kinematic range 0.09<~x<~0.9 and 2<~Q2<~15 (GeV/c)2 with use of electrons with energies ranging from 8 to 24.5 GeV. The ratio σAσD is consistent with unity in the range 0.1<x<0.3. For 0.3<x<0.8, the ratio decreases logarithmically with atomic weight A, or linearly with average nuclear density. No Q2 dependence in the ratio was observed over the kinematic range of the data.
