Abstract

Differential cross sections 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 ${(\frac{GeV}{c})}^{2}$ . With the use of these data in conjunction with previously measured data at 6° 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 photoabsorption cross sections $\frac{σ_{S}}{σ_{T}}$ are found to lie in the range 0 to 0.5. The question of scaling of $2 M_{p} W_{1}$ and $ν W_{2}$ as a function of $ω$ is discussed, and scaling is verified for a large kinematic range. Also, a new scaling variable which reduces to $ω$ in the Bjorken limit is introduced which extends the scaling region. The behavior of $σ_{T}$ and $σ_{S}$ is also discussed as a function of $ν$ and $q^{2}$ . Various weighted sum rules of $ν W_{2}$ are evaluated.
