MEASUREMENT OF THE PROTON STRUCTURE-FUNCTION F2 FROM THE 1993 HERA DATA RID B-9165-2008 RID C-5889-2009 RID A-4818-2008 RID C-1693-2008

Abstract

The ZEUS detector has been used to measure the proton structure function F-2. During 1993 HERA collided 26.7 GeV electrons on 820 GeV protons. The data sample corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 0.54 pb(-1), representing a twenty fold increase in statistics compared to that of 1992. Results are presented for 7 < Q(2) < 10(4) GeV2 and x values as low as 3 x 10(-4). The rapid rise in F-2 as x decreases observed previously is now studied in greater detail and persists for Q(2) values up to 500 GeV2
