Abstract
Results are presented for F-2(d)/F-2(p) and R(d) - R(p) from simultane ous measurements of deep inelastic muon scattering on hydrogen and deu terium targets, at 90, 120, 200 and 280 GeV. The difference R(d) - R(p ), determined in the range 0.002 < x < 0.4 at an average Q(2) of 5 GeV 2 is compatible with zero. The x and Q(2) dependence of F-2(d)/F-2(p) was measured in the kinematic range 0.001 < x < 0.8 and 0.1 < Q(2) < 1 45 GeV2 with small statistical and systematic errors. For x > 0.1 the ratio decreases with Q(2).
