Description

Inelastic scattering of 490 GeV μ+ from deuterium and xenon nuclei has been studied for xBj>0.001. The ratio of the xenon/deuterium cross section per nucleon is observed to vary with xBj, with a depletion in the kinematic range 0.001<xBj<0.025 which exhibits no significant Q2 dependence. An electromagnetic calorimeter was used to verify the radiative corrections. (orig.)
