Description

We report new results on a precision measurement of the ratio R=σL/σT from hydrogen, deuterium, and beryllium targets for deep inelastic electron scattering in the range 0.1≤x≤0.7 and 0.5≤Q2≤7 (GeV/c)2. We find no measurable difference between Rp and Rd. Our results are consistent with, and more precise than, previous SLAC data. At high x, R is somewhat larger than order αs2 pQCD predictions, even when target mass effects are included. (orig.)
