First Measurement of the EMC Effect in $^{10}$B and $^{11}$B
Abstract
The nuclear dependence of the inclusive inelastic electron scattering cross section (the EMC effect) has been measured for the first time in B and B. Previous measurements of the EMC effect in nuclei showed an unexpected nuclear dependence; B and B were measured to explore the EMC effect in this region in more detail. Results are presented for Be, B, B, and C at an incident beam energy of 10.6~GeV. The EMC effect in the boron isotopes was found to be similar to that for Be and C, yielding almost no nuclear dependence in the EMC effect in the range . This represents important, new data supporting the hypothesis that the EMC effect depends primarily on the local nuclear environment due to the cluster structure of these nuclei.
