Abstract

We report new results on a precision measurement of the ratio $R=\frac{{\ensuremath{\sigma}}_{L}}{{\ensuremath{\sigma}}_{T}}$ and the structure function ${F}_{2}$ for deep-inelastic electron-nucleon scattering in the kinematic range $0.2\ensuremath{\le}x\ensuremath{\le}0.5$ and $1\ensuremath{\le}{Q}^{2}\ensuremath{\le}10$ ${(\mathrm{G}\mathrm{e}\mathrm{V}/\mathit{c})}^{2}$. Our results show, for the first time, a clear falloff of $R$ with increasing ${Q}^{2}$. Our $R$ and ${F}_{2}$ results are in good agreement with QCD predictions only when corrections for target-mass effects are included.
