Abstract

This paper presents our first measurement of the F₂ structure function in neutral-current, deep inelastic scattering using the ZEUS detector at HERA, the ep colliding beam facility at DESY. The data correspond to an integrated luminosity of 24.7 nb⁻¹. Results are presented for data in range of Q² from 10 GeV² to 4700 GeV² and Bjorken x down to 3.0 × 10⁻⁴. The F₂ structure function increases rapidly as x decreases.
