Measurement of the EMC Effect of the Helium-3 Nucleus at Jefferson Lab

The MARATHON (MeAsurement of the Fn 2 /Fp 2 , d/u RAtios and A=3 EMC Effect in Deep Inelastic Scattering Off the Tritium and Helium MirrOr Nuclei) experiment ran in the Hall A Facility of the Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility (JLab). The experiment used a 10.59 GeV electron beam from the Continuous Electron Beam Accelerator Facility (CEBAF) of JLab to measure the ratio of the F2 structure functions of Helium-3 and Deuterium. Data were taken in the kinematic range of 0.195 lte x lte 0.825, 2.5 (GeV/c)2 lte Q2 lte 13 (GeV/c)2, and 3.5 (GeV/c2)^2 lte W^2 lte 13 (GeV/c2)^2. This is the first measurement of the 3He EMC effect that is purely in the Deep Inelastic Scattering region. The results of this experiment constitute an important, complimentary addition, to the limited data presently available for the EMC effect of light nuclei. The MARATHON results are compared to the world data for light, medium, and heavy nuclei. This measurement is considered an essential component to uncovering the nature of the EMC effect.
