Nuclear structure functions in carbon nearx=1

Abstract

Data from deep inelastic scattering of 200 GeV muons on a carbon target with squared four-momentum transfer 52 GeV2≤Q 2≤200 GeV2 were analysed in the region of the Bjorken variable close tox=1, which is the kinematic limit for scattering on a free nucleon. At this value ofx, the carbon structure function is found to beF C2 ≈1.2·10−4. Thex dependence of the structure function forx>0.8 is well described by an exponentialF C2 ∞exp(−sx) withs=16.5±0.6.
