Abstract
We investigate deep inelastic scattering from <sup>3</sup>He and <sup>3</sup>H within a conventional convolution treatment of binding and Fermi motion effects. Using realistic Faddeev wave functions together with a nucleon spectral function, we demonstrate that the free neutron structure function can be extracted in deep-inelastic scattering from A = 3 mirror nuclei, with nuclear effects canceling to within 2% for x ≤ 0.85.
