Measurement of the Ratio of the Neutron and Proton Structure Functions $$F_2$$ in Inelastic Muon Scattering
- UC, San Diego
The ratio of the neutron and proton structure functions $$F_2$$ has been measured to very low $$X_{bj}$$ using inelastic muon scattering. Data were taken in 1990 using 475 GeV muons incident on hydrogen and deuterium targets. Electromagnetic calorimetry has been used to remove radiative backgrounds and muon-electron elastic scattering. Results of the measurement are presented which cover the kinematic region 0.0001 $$\le$$ $$X_{bj} \le$$ 0.4 and 0.1 GeV$^2$ /$c^2$ $$\le$$ $Q^2$ $$\le$$ 100.0 GeV$^2$ /c$^2$.
