Recent work by the author in collaboration with S. Narison and G. Veneziano on the EMC-SMC-SLAC `proton spin' effect is reviewed. This uses a novel approach to deep inelastic scattering in which the matrix elements arising from the OPE are…
We parametrize the small x, singlet component of the proton structure function F_2 by powers and logarithms of 1/x for discrete values of Q^2 between 0.2 and 2000 GeV^2, and compare these parametrizations by applying the criterion of…
The recent high statistics NMC data on the Tin to Carbon structure function ratio seems to indicate, for the first time, a significant $Q^2$ dependence, especially at small values of Bjorken $x$, $x < 0.05$, and $Q^2 > 1 GeV^2$. Pure…

Measurements of the proton and deuteron $F_2$ structure functions are presented. The data, taken at Jefferson Lab Hall C, span the four-momentum transfer range $0.06 < Q^2 < 2.8$ GeV$^2$, and Bjorken $x$ values from 0.009 to 0.45, thus…
