Abstract
Abstract: Results are presented on the ratios of the deep inelastic muon-nucleus cross sections for carbon, copper and tin nuclei to those measured on deuterium. The data confirm that the structure functions of the nucleon measured in nuclei are different from those measured on quasi-free nucleons in deuterium. The kinematic range of the data is such that 〈Q2〉 ∼ 5 GeV2 at x ∼ 0.03, increasing to 〈Q2〉 ∼ 35 GeV2 for x ∼ 0.65. The measured cross section ratios are less than unity for x ≲ 0.05 and for 0.25 ≲ x < 0.7. The decrease of the ratio below unity for low x becomes larger as A increases as might be expected from nuclear shadowing. However, this occurs at relatively large values of Q2 (∼ 5 GeV2) indicating that such shadowing is of patrionic origin.

The data confirm that the structure functions of the nucleon measured in nuclei are different from those measured on quasi-free nucleons in deuterium. The kinematic range of the data is such that 〈Q2〉 ∼ 5 GeV2 at x ∼ 0.03, increasing to 〈Q2〉 ∼ 35 GeV2 for x ∼ 0.65. The measured cross section ratios are less than unity for x ≲ 0.05 and for 0.25 ≲ x < 0.7. The decrease of the ratio below unity for low x becomes larger as A increases as might be expected from nuclear shadowing. However, this occurs at relatively large values of Q2 (∼ 5 GeV2) indicating that such shadowing is of patrionic origin.</div></front></TEI><istex><corpusName>elsevier</corpusName><keywords><teeft><json:string>nucleon</json:string><json:string>phys</json:string><json:string>deuterium</json:string><json:string>radiative</json:string><json:string>present address</json:string><json:string>systematic errors</json:string><json:string>muon</json:string><json:string>physics letters</json:string><json:string>nucl</json:string><json:string>photon</json:string><json:string>deep inelastic</json:string><json:string>nucleon structure functions</json:string><json:string>systematic error</json:string><json:string>structure functions</json:string><json:string>section ratios</json:string><json:string>radiative corrections</json:string><json:string>structure function ratios</json:string><json:string>nucleon structure function</json:string><json:string>total errors</json:string><json:string>statistical error</json:string><json:string>nuclear studies</json:string><json:string>deuterium targets</json:string><json:string>event yields</json:string><json:string>beam energy</json:string><json:string>radiative effects</json:string><json:string>absolute value</json:string><json:string>radiative correction</json:string><json:string>significant variation</json:string><json:string>kinematic cuts</json:string><json:string>error bars</json:string><json:string>virtual photon</json:string><json:string>statistical errors</json:string><json:string>inner bars</json:string><json:string>polarised target</json:string><json:string>nuclear shadowing</json:string><json:string>carlo simulation</json:string><json:string>small correction</json:string><json:string>corrections</json:string></teeft></keywords><author><json:item><name>J.

The data confirm that the structure functions of the nucleon measured in nuclei are different from those measured on quasi-free nucleons in deuterium. The kinematic range of the data is such that 〈Q2〉 ∼ 5 GeV2 at x ∼ 0.03, increasing to 〈Q2〉 ∼ 35 GeV2 for x ∼ 0.65. The measured cross section ratios are less than unity for x ≲ 0.05 and for 0.25 ≲ x > 0.7. The decrease of the ratio below unity for low x becomes larger as A increases as might be expected from nuclear shadowing. However, this occurs at relatively large values of Q2 (∼ 5 GeV2) indicating that such shadowing is of patrionic origin.</abstract><qualityIndicators><refBibsNative>true</refBibsNative><abstractWordCount>137</abstractWordCount><abstractCharCount>761</abstractCharCount><keywordCount>0</keywordCount><score>8.541</score><pdfWordCount>4897</pdfWordCount><pdfCharCount>22046</pdfCharCount><pdfVersion>1.2</pdfVersion><pdfPageCount>8</pdfPageCount><pdfPageSize>548 x 742 pts</pdfPageSize></qualityIndicators><title>Measurement of the ratios of deep inelastic muon-nucleus cross sections on various nuclei compared to deuterium</title><pii><json:string>0370-2693(88)91872-2</json:string></pii><genre><json:string>research-article</json:string></genre><serie><title>RAL-T.035</title><language><json:string>unknown</json:string></language></serie><host><title>Physics Letters B</title><language><json:string>unknown</json:string></language><publicationDate>1988</publicationDate><issn><json:string>0370-2693</json:string></issn><pii><json:string>S0370-2693(00)X1411-6</json:string></pii><volume>202</volume><issue>4</issue><pages><first>603</first><last>610</last></pages><genre><json:string>journal</json:string></genre></host><namedEntities><unitex><date><json:string>1988</json:string></date><geogName></geogName><orgName><json:string>Germany IIL Physikalisches</json:string><json:string>Rutherford-Appleton Laboratory, Chilton, Didcot, Oxon OX</json:string><json:string>Nuclear Physics Laboratory, University</json:string><json:string>Department of Physics, University</json:string><json:string>Department of Physics, University of Liverpool</json:string><json:string>Department of Radiation Science, University</json:string><json:string>From Institute for Nuclear Studies, PL</json:string><json:string>From University</json:string><json:string>Physics Department, Yale University, New Haven, CT</json:string><json:string>University of Melbourne</json:string><json:string>Belgium Received</json:string><json:string>University of Florida</json:string><json:string>University of Bielefeld</json:string><json:string>UK Rutherford-Appleton Laboratory, Chilton, Didcot, Oxon</json:string></orgName><orgName_funder></orgName_funder><orgName_provider></orgName_provider><persName><json:string>Fig</json:string></persName><placeName><json:string>Bielefeld</json:string><json:string>Uppsala</json:string><json:string>Switzerland</json:string><json:string>Germany</json:string><json:string>Australia</json:string><json:string>Gainesville</json:string><json:string>Heidelberg</json:string><json:string>Poland</json:string><json:string>UK</json:string><json:string>Turin</json:string><json:string>Ipswich</json:string><json:string>Warsaw</json:string><json:string>Sheffield</json:string><json:string>Liverpool</json:string><json:string>Wuppertal</json:string><json:string>Annecy</json:string><json:string>Lancaster</json:string><json:string>Ottawa</json:string><json:string>France</json:string><json:string>FL</json:string><json:string>Marseille</json:string><json:string>Italy</json:string><json:string>Sweden</json:string><json:string>Mainz</json:string></placeName><ref_url></ref_url><ref_bibl><json:string>[4]</json:string><json:string>[ 10]</json:string><json:string>[ 7 ]</json:string><json:string>[ 15 ]</json:string><json:string>[6]</json:string><json:string>[ 1 ]</json:string><json:string>[2,3]</json:string><json:string>[10]</json:string><json:string>[ 9 ]</json:string><json:string>[ 10 ]</json:string><json:string>[ 1,10]</json:string><json:string>[ 14 ]</json:string><json:string>[ 16]</json:string><json:string>[ 11 ]</json:string><json:string>[13]</json:string></ref_bibl><bibl></bibl></unitex></namedEntities><ark><json:string>ark:/67375/6H6-6LTNNR0L-0</json:string></ark><categories><wos><json:string>1 -

The data confirm that the structure functions of the nucleon measured in nuclei are different from those measured on quasi-free nucleons in deuterium. The kinematic range of the data is such that 〈Q2〉 ∼ 5 GeV2 at x ∼ 0.03, increasing to 〈Q2〉 ∼ 35 GeV2 for x ∼ 0.65. The measured cross section ratios are less than unity for x ≲ 0.05 and for 0.25 ≲ x < 0.7. The decrease of the ratio below unity for low x becomes larger as A increases as might be expected from nuclear shadowing. However, this occurs at relatively large values of Q2 (∼ 5 GeV2) indicating that such shadowing is of patrionic origin.</p></abstract></profileDesc><revisionDesc><change

The data confirm that the structure functions of the nucleon measured in nuclei are different from those measured on quasi-free nucleons in deuterium. The kinematic range of the data is such that 〈<ce:italic>Q</ce:italic><ce:sup>2</ce:sup>〉 ∼ 5 <ce:italic>GeV</ce:italic><ce:sup>2</ce:sup> at <ce:italic>x</ce:italic> ∼ 0.03, increasing to 〈<ce:italic>Q</ce:italic><ce:sup>2</ce:sup>〉 ∼ 35 <ce:italic>GeV</ce:italic><ce:sup>2</ce:sup> for <ce:italic>x</ce:italic> ∼ 0.65. The measured cross section ratios are less than unity for <ce:italic>x</ce:italic> ≲ 0.05 and for 0.25 ≲ <ce:italic>x</ce:italic> < 0.7. The decrease of the ratio below unity for low <ce:italic>x</ce:italic> becomes larger as <ce:italic>A</ce:italic> increases as might be expected from nuclear shadowing. However, this occurs at relatively large values of <ce:italic>Q</ce:italic><ce:sup>2</ce:sup> (∼ 5 GeV<ce:sup>2</ce:sup>) indicating that such shadowing is of patrionic origin.</ce:simple-para></ce:abstract-sec></ce:abstract></head></converted-article></istex:document></istex:metadataXml><mods version="3.6"><titleInfo><title>Measurement of the ratios of deep inelastic muon-nucleus cross sections on various nuclei compared to deuterium</title></titleInfo><titleInfo type="alternative" contentType="CDATA"><title>Measurement of the ratios of deep inelastic muon-nucleus cross sections on various nuclei compared to deuterium</title></titleInfo><name type="personal"><namePart type="given">J.</namePart><namePart type="family">Ashman</namePart><affiliation>Department of Physics, University of Sheffield, Sheffield S3 7RH, UK</affiliation><role><roleTerm type="text">author</roleTerm></role></name><name type="personal"><namePart type="given">B.</namePart><namePart type="family">Badelek</namePart><affiliation>Physics Institute, University of Warsaw, PL-00681 Warsaw, Poland</affiliation><affiliation>1 From University of Warsaw, PL-00681 Warsaw, Poland.</affiliation><role><roleTerm type="text">author</roleTerm></role></name><name type="personal"><namePart type="given">G.</namePart><namePart type="family">Baum</namePart><affiliation>Institute for Nuclear Studies, PL-00681 Warsaw, Poland</affiliation><affiliation>2 Permanent address, University of Bielefeld, D-4800 Bielefeld, Fed.

The data confirm that the structure functions of the nucleon measured in nuclei are different from those measured on quasi-free nucleons in deuterium. The kinematic range of the data is such that 〈Q2〉 ∼ 5 GeV2 at x ∼ 0.03, increasing to 〈Q2〉 ∼ 35 GeV2 for x ∼ 0.65. The measured cross section ratios are less than unity for x ≲ 0.05 and for 0.25 ≲ x < 0.7. The decrease of the ratio below unity for low x becomes larger as A increases as might be expected from nuclear shadowing. However, this occurs at relatively large values of Q2 (∼ 5 GeV2) indicating that such shadowing is of patrionic origin.</abstract><note>European Muon Collaboration</note><relatedItem type="host"><titleInfo><title>Physics Letters B</title></titleInfo><titleInfo type="abbreviated"><title>PLB</title></titleInfo><genre type="journal" authority="ISTEX" authorityURI="https://publication-type.data.istex.fr" valueURI="https://publication-type.data.istex.fr/ark:/67375/JMC-0GLKJH51-B">journal</genre><originInfo><publisher>ELSEVIER</publisher><dateIssued encoding="w3cdtf">19880317</dateIssued></originInfo><identifier type="ISSN">0370-2693</identifier><identifier type="PII">S0370-2693(00)X1411-6</identifier><part><date>19880317</date><detail type="volume"><number>202</number><caption>vol.</caption></detail><detail type="issue"><number>4</number><caption>no.</caption></detail><extent unit="issue-pages"><start>465</start><end>646</end></extent><extent unit="pages"><start>603</start><end>610</end></extent></part></relatedItem><identifier type="istex">9CDF30A32E8652B8407938C414193DA41D0C8AD9</identifier><identifier type="ark">ark:/67375/6H6-6LTNNR0L-0</identifier><identifier type="DOI">10.1016/0370-2693(88)91872-2</identifier><identifier type="PII">0370-2693(88)91872-2</identifier><recordInfo><recordContentSource authority="ISTEX" authorityURI="https://loaded-corpus.data.istex.fr" valueURI="https://loaded-corpus.data.istex.fr/ark:/67375/XBH-HKKZVM7B-M">elsevier</recordContentSource></recordInfo></mods><json:item><extension>json</extension><original>false</original><mimetype>application/json</mimetype><uri>https://api.istex.fr/document/9CDF30A32E8652B8407938C414193DA41D0C8AD9/metadata/json</uri></json:item></metadata></istex></record>Pour manipuler ce document sous Unix (Dilib)
