Abstract

Deep Inelastic Scattering (DIS) is one of the phenomenological events in order to understand the structure of proton along with the density of partons. The HERA run had given a new understanding of the structure of hadrons. In the present work, we have plotted the graphs between momentum transfer squared Q2 = 8.5 GeV2 and Q2 = 1600 GeV2 and found that the proton structure function F2(x,Q2) decreases gradually with the increase in scaling factor Q2. This conforms with the existing theories. The structure function is more significant at small Bjorken x but with the increase in x, the structure function decreases. The larger the x value, the chances of understanding the structure function seemingly become less.
