Quasielastic to Deep Inelastic Scattering: Results from Jefferson Lab E02-019
ORAL
Abstract
Jefferson Lab experiment E02-019 measured inclusive cross-sections at momentum transfers from 2.5 to 9 GeV/c$^2$ for several light and heavy nuclei. The transition from quasielastic to deep inelastic scattering is observed. We have applied target mass corrections to the extracted $F_2$ structure functions for all nuclei and obtained the structure function fall-off at $x>1$, which has previously only been determined for a limited range in $x$ and for much larger values of $Q^2$. The analysis procedure will be detailed and results presented. We have also obtained measurements of 2N correlations in nuclei via cross section ratios to deuterium. Additionally, ratios to $^3He$ will be presented, measured at higher $Q^2$ values than the most recent results from CLAS. Plans for future measurements will briefly be discussed.
