| Abstract A first measurement is reported of the longitudinal proton structure function FL(x, Q2) atthe ep collider HERA. It is based on inclusive deep inelastic e+p scattering cross sectionmeasurements with a positron beam energy of 27.5 GeV and proton beam energies of 920, 575 and 460 GeV. Employing the energy dependence of the cross section, FL is measuredin a range of squared four-momentum transfers 12 < = Q2 < = 90 GeV2 and low Bjorken x 0.00024 < = x < = 0.0036. The FL values agree with higher order QCD calculations based onparton densities obtained using cross section data previously measured at HERA. | |||||||||||||
