Abstract
The general charge properties of the hadronic final state produced in μ+p and μ+d interactions at 280 GeV are investigated. Quark charge retention and local charge compensation is observed. The ratio F2 n/F2 p of the neutron to proton structure function is derived from the measurement of the average hadronic charge in μd interactions. © 1988 Springer-Verlag.
