Description

We study log corrections to inelastic scattering at high Bjorken x for Q2 from 1 to 21 GeV2. At issue is the presence of log corrections, which can be absent if high-x scattering has damped gluon radiation. We find logarithmic correction of the scaling curve extrapolated to low Q2 improves the duality between it and the resonance plus background data in the Δ region, indicating log corrections exist in the data. However, at W>2 GeV and high x, the data show a (1-x)3 form. Log corrections in one situation but not in another can be reconciled by a W- or Q2-dependent higher twist correction
