An experiment measuring large momentum transfer inelastic scatters of muons from an iron target is described. The data are analyzed for deviations from the Bjorken scaling prediction that the nucleon structure function nuW/sub 2/(omega) be independent of the four-momentum transfer Q/sup 2/. Significant deviations are observed: as absolute value Q/sup 2/ increases, nuW/sub 2/ increases for omega > 6 and decreases for omega < 6. These deviations are parameterized and compared with qualitative expectations from scale-breaking in asymptotically free field theories and from the turn-on of a charm contribution to the scatters.
