The ratio of the neutron to proton structure functions, $$F^{\eta}_2$$ / $$F^p_2$$, from scattering of 470 GeV muons on liquid hydrogen and deuterium targets, is measured at very small-x and $Q^2$ , using the Fermilab E665 spectrometer. The results presented cover the region 0.000004 < x < 0.3 and $Q^2$ > 0.001 $GeV^2$ , three orders of magnitude lower in z than previous fixed-target experiments, and with higher average Q2 in the overlap region....
