Abstract

In this paper we will review the information which can be obtained from deep inelastic scattering (DIS) of leptons from hadrons. As is well known, it was through DIS that one was able to infer that nucleons are made up of apparently pointlike elementary constituents.1 The latest Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded to Friedman, Kendall and Taylor for their leadership in these experiments. Since this time very detailed experiments have been carried out on both nucleon and nuclear targets, using either charged leptons (electrons or muons) or neutrinos.

  8. With leading-order QCD corrections the Callan-Gross relation F 2 (x,Q 2) = 2xF1(x,Q 2) is maintained. However, higher order QCD corrections modify this relation. We can then define the quark densities as satisfying Eq. (2.5) for F 2; we then use the QCD-corrected formula Eq. (4.5) to express F 1 in terms of the experimentally measured R.
