Abstract
It is suggested that strong interactions are described by the renormalizable, asymptotically free gauge field theory of colored quarks and gluons and that the renormalized quark-gluon coupling constant is small, when evaluated at momenta of the order of the proton mass. The true asymptotic predictions of this theory for deep inelastic scattering are shown to be irrelevant for present experiments. Scaling is found to be violated logarithmically according to lowest order perturbation theory. Upper bounds for the strong interaction coupling constant are derived.
