Even at the lowest values of $Q^{2}$, $R$ remains nearly constant and does not disappear with decreasing $Q^{2}$, as expected. We find a nearly identical behaviour for hydrogen and deuterium.4 pages, 2 giguresNuclear ExperimentLongitudinal-Transverse Separations of Structure Functions at Low $Q^{2}$ for Hydrogen and Deuteriumtext
