Abstract

Preliminary measurements of the structure functions F{sub 2}{sup p} and F{sub 2}{sup d} and the structure function ratio F{sub 2}{sup n}/F{sub 2}{sup p}, in inelastic {mu}N scattering are presented. Preliminary results on nuclear transparency ({sigma}{sup A}/A)/{sigma}{sup H} in incoherent exclusive {rho} production are also presented. The data were obtained by Fermilab experiment 665 using a 465 GeV muon beam and liquid hydrogen, deuterium and carbon, calcium and lead targets. The structure functions are measured in the range x{sub Bj} > 8 {times} 10{sup {minus}4} and Q{sup 2} > 0.2 GeV{sup 2}. The structure function ratio is presented as a function of x{sub Bj} for x{sub Bj} > 10{sup {minus}6}. The nuclear transparency in exclusive {rho} production is studied as a function of Q{sup 2} in the range 0.1 < Q{sup 2} < 10.0 GeV{sup 2}.
