Abstract

I would like to discuss the possibility of testing Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) in deep inelastic muon scattering from an experimental viewpoint. I will show you the instruments and quality of data that are available for such tests, and then an indication of what our very first attempts to make a comparison between these and QCD predictions in semi inclusive hadron production looks like. These results are very preliminary and in some cases merely suggestive of the possibilities that avail themselves. In all cases I think they are instructive.
