Hadron Momentum Distribution in Deeply InelasticepCollisions

Abstract

Extending previous speculations originating from the idea that a hadron is a spatially extended object with many internal degrees of freedom, we argue that in $\mathrm{ep}$ collisions in the deeply inelastic region, the proton partially fragments and partially pulverizes. The usefulness of studying experimentally the single-hadron spectrum for fixed and large $q^2$ and $\nu$ is discussed.
