Longitudinal-Transverse Separation for Inclusive Electroproduction of Pions and Protons

We use new measurements of the inclusive electroproduction reactions eN ..-->.. e'..pi../sup plus-or-minus/X and eN ..-->.. e'pX with epsilon values in the range 0.35 < epsilon < 0.45 together with earlier measurements with 0.85 < epsilon < 0.95 to determine the contributions to the cross section due to transversely and longitudinally polarized photons in the range 1.2 GeV/sup 2/ < Q/sup 2/ < 3.3GeV/sup 2/. The longitudinal component is small and consistent with that observed in the total virtual-photoproduction cross section.
