The new muon experiment at CERN

  • 1. Max-Planck-Institut fuer Kernphysik, Heidelberg (Germany, F.R.)

Description

The extension of the muon programme at CERN by the NA37 collaboration will mainly study two aspects of deep inelastic muon-nucleus scattering. Firstly, a simultaneous high luminosity measurement of the hydrogen and deuterium structure functions will alow to determine the neutron structure function F2n, F2p-F2n and F2n/F2p with high precision over a large Q2 and x range. Secondly, detailed studies of the nuclear dependence of the structure function ratios F2A/F2D, of R=σL/σT and the cross section for J/Ψ production will provide a basis for understanding the EMC effect. 11 refs., 1 fig.
