Abstract
Cross sections for deep-inelastic electron scattering from liquid deuterium, gaseous , and solid Be, C, Al, Ca, Fe, Ag, and Au targets were measured at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center using electrons with energies ranging from 8 to 24.5 GeV. These data cover a range in the Bjorken variable from 0.089 to 0.8, and in momentum transfer from 2 to 15 . The ratios of cross sections per nucleon for isoscalar nuclei have been extracted from the data. These ratios are greater than unity in the range , while for they are less than unity and decrease logarithmically with atomic weight , or linearly with average nuclear density. No dependence in the ratios was observed over the kinematic range of the data. These results are compared to various theoretical predictions.
