Determination of the longitudinal proton structure function FL(x,Q2) at low x
Abstract
A measurement of the inclusive cross section for the deep-inelastic scattering of positrons off protons at HERA is presented at momentum transfers 8.5 ≤ Q2 ≤ 35 GeV2 and large inelasticity = 0.7, i.e. for the Bjorken-x range 0.00013 ≤ x ≤ 0.00055. Using a next-to-leading order QCD fit to the structure function F2 at lower y values, the contribution of F2 to the measured cross section at high y is calculated and, by subtraction, the …
