/ Abstract
Measurements of charged current neutrino and anti-neutrino nucleon interactions in the CCFR detector are used to extract the structure functions, F 2 , xF ν 3 , xF ν 3 and R (longitudinal) in the kinematic region 0 . 01 < x < 0 . 6 and 1 < Q 2 < 300 GeV 2 . The new measurements of R in the x < 0 . 1 region provide a constraint on the level of the gluon distribution. The x and Q 2 dependence of R is compared with a QCD based fit to previous data. The CKM matrix element | V cs | is extracted from a combined analysis of xF 3 and dimuon
