We present results on a high statistics study of the nucleon structure functions F2(x, Q2) and R=σL/σT measured in deep inelastic scattering of muons on a deuterium target. The analysis is based on 8×105 events after all cuts, recorded at beam energies of 120, 200 and 280 GeV in the kinematic range 0.06⩽ × ⩽0.80 and 8GeV2⩽Q2⩽260GeV2. Scaling violations observed in the data are in agreement with predictions of perturbative QCD and allow to determine the QCD mass scale parameter Λ.
