Abstract

The structure functions of hadrons in deep inelastic scattering are calculated in the framework of the single-time formulation of QFT. The initial hadron is considered as a bound state of the quark-antiquark pair and the structure functions are expressed through the relativistic wave function of the bound state which obeys the covariant quasi-potential equation. A new scaling variable is introduced and explicit expressions for the scaling and prescaling parts of the structure functions are derived. It is shown that the prescaling and exclusive threshold asymptotics of the structure functions in the leading approximation contain only logarithmic terms. The exact solution of the quasi-potential equation for the relativistic potential with QCD large-Q2 behaviour is used in order to calculate the structure functions.
