The deep inelastic electron scattering cross sections per nucleon sigma/sub A/ for d, He, Be, C, Al, Ca, Fe, Ag, and Au were measured in the kinematic range 0.09 less than or equal to x less than or equal to 0.9 and 2 less than or equal to Q/sup 2/ less than or equal to 15 (GEV/c)/sup 2/ using electrons with energies ranging from 8 to 24.5 GeV. The ratio sigma/sub A//sigma/sub d/ 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 Q/sup 2/ dependence in the ratio was observed over the kinematic range of the data. 12 references.
