The muon as a deep nuclear probe
1993
The status of the Fermilab Experiment E 802 entitled “Deep inelastic muon interaction with nuclear targets using emulsion telescope technique” is reported. GeV muons in matter probe deep within the nucleus to yield rich information on the quark structure and other features. The EMC effect, the modification of the quark response due to various nuclear environments along with topological and scaling characteristics are being studied. The status of the collaborative project INT-9118888 sanctioned by the National Science Foundation (USA) to enable participation of the Jadvapur University Group in collaboration with Fermilab in E 782 along with E 802 is also reported. E 782 is a unique bubble chamber muon experiment investigating the deep inelastic structure functions using the Tohoku Bubble Chamber and is a Tohoku University, Japan-Fermilab (USA) collaboration involving also other institutes in the USA and the Institute of High Energy Physics, China.
