EMC Ratios for Light Nuclei

ORAL

Abstract

A part of JLab experiment E12-10-008 was completed in the Spring of 2018, measuring inclusive electron scattering from a range of nuclei to extract their nuclear structure function. Data was acquired on Be, 10B, 11B, and C nuclei. We aim to extract the ratio of the nuclear structure function to deuterium in order to study the EMC effect and help test the idea that the local nuclear density plays an important role in quark modification in the nuclear medium. In this talk, we will present preliminary results and the current status of the analysis.This work is supported by US Department of Energy, Office of Science under Award Number DE-FG02-07ER41528.
