Observed Behavior of Highly Inelastic Electron-Proton Scattering

Observed Behavior of Highly Inelastic Electron-Proton Scattering

Results of electron-proton inelastic scattering at 6' and 10' are discussed, and values of the structure function ~2 are estimated. If the interaction is dominated by transverse virtual photons, vW2 can be expressed as a function of v = 2M v/q within experimental errors for q2 & 1 (GeV/c)2 and &u &4, where v is the invariant energy transfer and q2 is the invariant momentum transfer of the elect...

INELASTIC ELECTRON-PROTON AND y-PROTON SCATTERING, ANDTHESTRUCTUREOFTHENUCLEON*

aA model for highly inelastic electron-nucleon scattering at high energies is studied and compared with existing data. This model envisages the proton to be composed of point-like constituents (“partons”) from which the electron scatters incoherently. We propose that the model be tested by observing y-rays scattered inelastically in a similar way from the nucleon. The magnitude of this inelasti...

Connection between Inelastic Proton-proton Reactions and Deep Inelastic Electron Scattering*

Following the idea that the electromagnetic and nuclear distributions behave similarly for large momentum transfers (as introduced by Wu and Yang and further developed by A.barbanel, Drell and Gilman) we examine the possibility of relating the deep inelastic electron scattering to large momentum transfer and high energy inelastic protonproton reactions.

A Different View of Deep Inelastic Electron-proton Scattering

Deep inelastic electron-proton scattering is analyzed in the target rest frame using a theoretical approach suitable to describe many-body systems of bound constituents subject to interactions. At large three-momentum transfer |q|, this approach predicts the onset of scaling in the variable ỹ = ν-|q|, where ν denotes the energy transfer. The present analysis shows that the data, plotted at cons...
