Precision measurement of structure function ratios for6Li,12C and40Ca

  • Published:
Zeitschrift für Physik C Particles and Fields

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.
