Abstract
We present results on the cross-section ratio for inelastic muon scatt ering on neutrons and protons as a function of Bjorken x. The data ext end to x values two orders of magnitude smaller than in previous measu rements, down to 2 x 10(-5), for Q2 > 0.01 GeV2. The ratio is consiste nt with unity throughout this new range.
