First measurements from the E665 experiment at Fermilab on the relative cross-sections of 490 GeV/c muons scattered from deuterium and xenon targets are presented. The scattered muons were in the kinetic range Q{sup 2} > 0.1(GeV/c){sup 2} and very low x{sub Bj} (0.001 < x{sub Bj} < 0.1). Triggering on events in this kinematic region was accomplished with a special Small Angle Trigger which projected individual beam muons to form a veto region 30 meters from the target. Using this trigger, muons with scattered angles as small as 0.5 milliradians were detected. 8 refs., 6 figs.
