The ratio F2n/F2p in deep inelastic muon scattering

Abstract: Results are presented on the ratio of neutron and proton structure functions, F~'/F~, deduced from deep inelastic scattering of muons from hydrogen and deuterium. The data, which were obtained at the CERN muon beam at 90 and 280 GeV incident energy, cover the kinematic range x = 0.002-0.80 and Q2 = 0.1-190 GeV2. The measured structure function ratios have small statistical and systematic errors, particularly at small and intermediate x. The observed Q2 dependence in the range x = 0.1-0.4 is stronger than predi… Show more

“…These would be, by orders of magnitude, the smallest values of x where gluon distribution in a nucleus has ever been measured. For example, the smallest values of x measurable in fixed target DIS experiments at CERN and Fermilab is x ∼ 10 −2 at similar Q 2 [22,23]. Therefore, by measuring the η ′ production cross section at large rapidities, one can, for the first time, determine the nuclear gluon distribution function at very small x and moderately large Q 2 .…”

“…The Born cross section for inelastic scattering on the proton is simulated according to the ALLM97 parameterization of F p 2 [25] and the parameterization R 1990 [33] for R, while that for the deuteron is derived from the same parameterizations in conjunction with the fit [34] to F d 2 /F p 2 data from NMC, SLAC and BCDMS. Radiative effects are simulated with RADGEN [35].…”

“…Note that radiation of photon at large angles by the initial and final electrons increases the region of variation for quantity r in (35), because for collinear radiation r 1 < r < r 2 and now r − < r 1 and r + > r 2 . It may be important if the hadron structure functions are large in these additional regions.…”

“…It allows us not to mix pure radiative effects, which are of interest, with influence of hadron structure functions. Specifically, we use the so-called D8 model for spin-average SF [35] (see also discussion in [9]), and A 1 (x) = x 0.725 suggested in [37]; g 2 = 0 (for definition A 1 (x) see below).…”
