Abstract:
The ZEUS detector has been used to measure the proton structure function F2. During 1993 HERA collided 26.7 GeV electrons on 820 GeV protons. The data sample corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 0.54 pb-1, representing a twenty fold increase in statistics compared to that of 1992. Results are presented for 72<104 GeV2 and x values as low as 3脳10-4. The rapid rise in F2 as x decreases observed previously is now studied in greater detail and persists for Q2 values up to 500 GeV2. 漏 1995 Springer-Verlag.
