Abstract

New nuclear structure function data from Jefferson Lab covering the higher-x and lower-Q² regime make it possible to extract the higher-order F₂ moments for iron and deuterium at low four-momentum transfer squared Q². These moments allow for an experimental investigation of the nuclear momentum sum rule and a direct comparison of the nonsinglet nucleon moment with lattice QCD results.
