Geesaman, D F

The current experimental status of measurements of nucleon structure functions in deep inelastic lepton scattering is presented. Recent BCDMS and SLAC results provide a consistent data set for charged lepton scattering. New probes of parton distributions: direct photons, Drell Yan di-muon production, W, Z and heavy quark production are providing information on the gluon an antiquark distributions. The implications of these data on our understanding of the structure of the nucleon, and the structure of the nucleon in the nucleus are discussed. 26 refs., 9 figs.
