Abstract

We study log corrections to inelastic scattering at high Bjorken x for Q^2 from 1 to 21 GeV^2. At issue is the presence of log corrections, which can be absent if high x scattering has damped gluon radiation. We find logarithmic correction of the scaling curve extrapolated to low Q^2 improves the duality between it and the resonance plus background data in the Delta region, indicating log corrections exist in the data. However, at W > 2 GeV and high x, the data shows a (1-x)^3 form. Log corrections in one situation but not in another can be reconciled by a W- or Q^2- dependent higher twist correction.
