Description
Nucleon structure functions, measured in lepton-nucleon scattering, are key to understanding partonic dynamics. At high parton momenta, extracting parton distributions becomes challenging due to non-perturbative effects and limited precision data. Neutron structure and d-quark distributions are particularly difficult to extract due to nuclear corrections required for deuteron-based measurements. Recent experiments at Jefferson Lab, including E12-10-002 in Hall C, have significantly reduced these uncertainties by improving deuteron-to-proton cross-section measurements at large Bjorken-x. These results enhance precision and provide valuable insights for refining global parton distribution function fits.
