Two-Component Model for Deep Inelastic Lepton-Nucleon Scattering

Abstract
A two-component model of deep inelastic lepton-nucleon scattering is presented in which the phenomena that the usual quark-parton model attributes to the presence of the core (wee) quarks are instead described by a generalized vector-meson-dominance model, modified to take into account a correction arising from the finite size of the nucleon and the uncertainty principle. The model predicts the core-quark distribution in satisfactory agreement with the results of neutrino experiments.
