Neutron unpolarized structure function F-2(n)(x) from deep inelastic scattering off He-3 and H-3

摘要

The possibility to safely extract the neutron deep inelastic structure function F-2(n)(x) in the range 0 less than or equal to x less than or equal to 0.9 from joint measurements of deep inelastic structure functions of He-3 and H-3 is demonstrated. While the nuclear structure effects are relevant, the model dependence in this extraction linked to the N - N interaction is shown to be weak. [References: 14]
