Charge structure of the hadronic final state in deep-inelastic muon-nucleon scattering

  • Published:
Zeitschrift für Physik C Particles and Fields

Abstract

The general charge properties of the hadronic final state produced inμ + p andμ + d interactions at 280 GeV are investigated. Quark charge retention and local charge compensation is observed. The ratioF n2 /F p2 of the neutron to proton structure function is derived from the measurement of the average hadronic charge in μd interactions.
