Abstract
The structure function ratiosF C2 /F Li2 ,F Ca2 /F Li2 andF Ca2 /F C2 were measured in deep inelastic muonnucleus scattering at an incident muon energy of 90 GeV, covering the kinematic range 0.0085<x<0.6 and 0.8<Q 2<17GeV2. The sensitivity of the nuclear structure functions to the size and mean density of the target nucleus is discussed.

Densities ϱ were obtained using the formula:\(\rho \left( A \right) = {A \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {A {[\tfrac{4}{3}\pi \left( {\tfrac{5}{3}\left\langle {r^2 } \right\rangle } \right)^{\tfrac{2}{3}} ]}}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} {[\tfrac{4}{3}\pi \left( {\tfrac{5}{3}\left\langle {r^2 } \right\rangle } \right)^{\tfrac{2}{3}} ]}}\), where 〈r 2〉 is the mean square nuclear charge radius given in H. de Vries et al.: Atomic Data and Nuclear Data Tables 36 (1987) 495
