At lower values of x, a certain fraction of events measured in this technique have a high rapidity gap, which suggests the exchange of a Pomeron.
At lower values of x, a certain fraction of events measured in this technique have a high rapidity gap, which suggests the exchange of a Pomeron. According to the Rosenbluth Equation, at high energies the processes competing with the one used in this technique have a differential cross section proportional to the negative sixth power of q, making them very unlikely. The Callan-Gross relations relate two functions derived from this technique. The EMC experiment used polarized particles in this technique and showed that only 50% of a certain particle's spin could be accounted for by its substituents' spin. The structure functions W1 and W2 found by this technique tend towards the form factors F1 and F2 when the square of the four-momentum is taken towards infinity, a phenomenon known as Bjorken scaling. The results of these experiments performed at SLAC were used to derive asymptotic freedom. For 10 points, name this technique in which leptons are fired at hadrons, which was first used to show that hadrons are composed of quarks.
