A new comparison of the F2A/F2p and F2A/F2n structure function ratios
ORAL
Abstract
Using electron scattering data from SLAC E139 and muon scattering data from NMC in the deep-inelastic regime, we determine the F2A/F2p and F2A/F2n structure function ratios. These data span 0.07 ≤ xB ≤ 0.7 and 1 ≤ Q2 ≤ 200 GeV2/c2 and 0.006 ≤ xB ≤ 0.6 and 0.5 ≤ Q2 ≤ 55 GeV2/c2 for the SLAC and NMC data, respectively. This regime is of particular relevance to studies of the EMC Effect. We assume no Q2 dependence. We compare the structure function ratios for isoscalar nuclei and will look at the non-isoscalar nuclei with the possibility to look for flavor dependence. This talk will present the results of the comparison of the F2A/F2n and F2A/F2p structure function ratios for isoscalar nuclei using the new F2n global data set from the CTEQ-JLab Collaboration, and we compare these ratios with theoretical predictions.
