Abstract

We present a novel interpretation of deep-inelastic scattering data. In our approach the Q/sup 2/ evolution from perfect scaling starts with a discontinuity in the structure function F/sub 2/, due to strong correlations among the sea quarks. This effect is compatible with the data gathered in the kinematic region available so far, but will bring new predictions in the kinematic region which will be reached in the near future. Precise experimental suggestions are indicated so as to distinguish between QCD incorporating strong correlations, leading to abrupt scaling violations, and current QCD without such correlations, leading to a smooth logarithmic scale breaking.
