Abstract
Experiment E12-10-103 (MARATHON) was conducted in the Hall A Facility of JLab in the winter/spring of 2018 during the initial phase of the 12 GeV energy upgrade of the Lab. One goal of the experiment was the first measurement of the EMC effect of
3
H. Four sealed gas targets were used during the experiment:
1
H,
2
H,
3
H, and
3
He. All measurements were in the deep inelastic scattering kinematical regime with large
Q
2
and
W
2
, which are the four-momentum transfer squared and invariant mass squared of the final hadronic state in the inelastic scattering interaction, respectively. The range of
Q
2
and
W
2
were 3 <
Q
2
<12 (GeV/c)
2
and 3.2 <
W
2
< 12.3 GeV/c
2
, respectively. The measurements spanned a wide range of the Bjorken variable
x
, between 0.19 and 0.83, where
x
=
Q
2
/2
M
(
E-E'
) is the momentum fraction carried by the struck quark in the interaction, with
M
being the nucleon mass. Knowledge of the EMC effect of light nuclei, such as
3
H, will provide an opportunity to better understand the origin of the EMC effect.
