A high statistics measurement of the deuteron structure functions F2(x, Q2) and R from deep inelastic muon scattering at high Q2

1990 
Abstract We present results on a high statistics study of the nucleon structure functions F 2 ( x , Q 2 ) and R = σ L / σ T measured in deep inelastic scattering of muons on a deuterium target. The analysis is based on 8×10 5 events after all cuts, recorded at beam energies of 120, 200 and 280 GeV in the kinematic range 0.06⩽ × ⩽0.80 and 8GeV 2 ⩽ Q 2 ⩽260GeV 2 . Scaling violations observed in the data are in agreement with predictions of perturbative QCD and allow to determine the QCD mass scale parameter Λ.
