Proton structure functions in an infinite resonance O(4, 2) model

Abstract

The proton electromagnetic inelastic structure functions have been explicitly evaluated in a noncompact O(4, 2) model for the spectrum of hadronic states, using the Barut-Corrigan-Kleinert infinite component wave equation. The resulting structure functions exhibit nontrivial scaling behavior in the Bjorken limit and give qualitative agreement with observation. They also satisfy exactly the Callan-Gross relation.
