Electroproduction at very small values of the scaling variable

Abstract

It is a real pleasure to dedicate these remarks to my colleague and friend, Jack Steinberger, whose work with neutrino production of hadrons has so much advanced our knowledge of the interior structure of the nucleon.

To be sure, the content of this paper is not very much directed to neutrino physics. There the situation at large x is in good shape. And, while there is still room for progress in the direction of higher energy and smaller x, it is probably the case that ultimately this subject is best attacked by muon and electron scattering experiments at the highest possible energies. I trust that this work will proceed with the same high standards and thoroughness as we have come to expect from Jack and his CDHS colleagues.

I thank Al Mueller for helpful comments and criticism.
