Breakdown of scaling in neutrino and electron scattering

Abstract

Observation of deviations from scaling in the structure functions for deep-inelastic inclusive lepton-hadron scattering may provide a test of the hypothesis that the strong interactions are described by an asymptotically free field theory. Tests not involving additional assumptions are obtained for the combinations of structure functions F2 (ep)-F2 (en), F2 (ν)-F2 (ν), and xF3(ν or ν). Neutrino and electron scattering experiments are compared as possible tests of asymptotic freedom.
