Measurement of the proton structure function F2 ( x, Q2) in the low- x region at HERA
Abstract
A measurement of the proton structure function F2 ( x, Q2) is presented with about 1000 neutral current deep inelastic scattering events for Bjorken x in the range x ⋍ 10 -2 - 10 -4and Q 2 > 5 GeV2. The measurement is based on an integrated luminosity of 22.5 nb -1 recorded by the H1 detector in the first year of HERA operation. The structure function F2 ( x, Q2) shows a significant rise with decreasing x.
