Book excerpt: The authors review the status of inclusive electron-proton scattering F2 structure function data in both the nucleon resonance region and the deep inelastic region, at momentum transfers below 5 (GeV/c)2. From these data they construct moments of F2, down to momentum transfers of Q2(almost equal to)0.1(GeV/c)2. The second moment is only slowly varying with Q2 down to Q2(almost equal to)1, which is a reflection of duality. Below Q2 of 1 (GeV/c)2, the Q2 dependence of the moments is predominantly governed by the elastic contribution, whereas the inelastic channels still seem governed by local duality.
