Abstract Recent experimental results from the CERN NA37 (NMC) experiment on deep inelastic muon scattering on hydrogen and deuterium are presented. Absolute structure functions have been measured at 90 and 280 GeV incident energy covering the kinematical range 0.006 2 2 . The new results help to resolve the severe discrepancies between the data of the previous experiments. In addition data on the structure function ratio F 2 n /F 2 p are reviewed. Evidence for a non-leading twist at × ⪆ 0.20 is extracted from the Q 2 dependence of the structure function ratio. Its effect on the determination of the Gottfried sum rule is discussed.
