High statistics data on the structure functions F 2 of the proton and the deutron measured with the same apparatus in deep inelastic muon scattering are used to study the ratio of structure functions of neutron and proton F 2 n / F 2 p and their difference F 2 p - F 2 n . Both measurements are consistent with predictions of the quark-parton model and of QCD.

We present results on a high statistics study of the proton structure functions F 2 ( x , Q 2 ) and R = σ L / σ T measured in deep inelastic scattering of muons on a hydrogen target. The analysis is based on 1.8 × 10 6 events after all cuts, recorded at beam energies of 100, 120, 200 and 280 GeV and covering a kinematic range 0.06 ⩽ x ⩽ 0.80 and 7 GeV 2 ⩽ Q 2 ⩽260 GeV 2 . At small x , we find R to be different from zero in agreement with predictions of perturbative QCD.
