Abstract
We calculate the structure function for deep inelastic lepton scattering events in which the target proton emerges isolated in rapidly and has its momentum changed very little by the scattering. This measures “the structure function of the pomeron”. We find that such events make up a few per cent of the total inclusive cross section at small values of the Bjorken variable x, so that it should be possible to measure the structure function at HERA.
