Description
The possibility of extending the measurements of the Jefferson Lab (JLab) MARATHON experiment to higher values of the squared four-momentum transfer $Q^2$ and of the Bjorken scaling variable x will be presented. The first part of the presentation will summarize results from the MARATHON experiment based on data from electron deep inelastic scattering from the tritium and helium-3 mirror nuclei. The second part will summarize i) the requirements for a possible new JLab experiment using existing apparatuses in the Hall C Facility of the Lab, and ii) selected projected results, mainly on the ratio of the proton and neutron nucleon $F_2^n/F_2^p$ structure functions, and on the isoscalar EMC effect of the $A=3$ nucleus.
