Extrapolation and statistical bootstrap of nucleon structure function data from the 3H and 3He mirror nuclei experiment

ORAL

Abstract

The Jefferson Lab MARATHON experiment has made deep inelastic scattering measurements on the 3H and 3He mirror nuclei. This data has been used to extract the ratio of the F2n/F2p structure functions over a wide range in Bjorken x. We make use of a mathematical extrapolating function to project the current results to the Bjorken limits and then compare this purely mathematical result to modern theorestical expections. In addition, we will use this data to show how to use a statistical bootstrap to generate an error band.
