Abstracts
Differential cross section for electrons scattered inelastically from hydrogen have been measured at 18^°, 26^°, and 34^°. The range of incident energy was 4.5 to 18 GeV, and the range of four-momentum transfer squared was 1.5 to 21 GeV/c². With the use of these data in conjunction with previously measured data at 68^° and 10^°, the contributions from the longitudinal and transverse components of the exchanged photon have been separately determined. The values of the ratio of the photoabsorbtion cross sections _S/_T are found to lie in the range 0 to 0.5. The question of scaling of 2M_pW₁ and W₂ as a function of is discussed, and scaling is verified for a large kinematic range. Also, a new scaling variable which reduced to in the Bjorken limit is introduced which extends the scaling region. The behaviour of _T and _S is also discussed as a function of and q². Various weighted sum rules of W₂ are evaluated.
