Abstract:
A measurement of the proton structure function F ⁣2(x,Q 2)F_{\!2}(x,Q~2) is reported for momentum transfer squared Q 2Q~2 between 4.5 GeV 2GeV~2 and 1600 GeV 2GeV~2 and for Bjorken xx between 1.810 41.8\cdot10~{-4} and 0.13 using data collected by the HERA experiment H1 in 1993. It is observed that F ⁣2F_{\!2} increases significantly with decreasing xx, confirming our previous measurement made with one tenth of the data available in this analysis. The Q 2Q~2 dependence is approximately logarithmic over the full kinematic range covered. The subsample of deep inelastic events with a large pseudo-rapidity gap in the hadronic energy flow close to the proton remnant is used to measure the "diffractive" contribution to F ⁣2F_{\!2}.
