Abstract
The energy and angular distributions of slow nucleons produced in semi-inclusive inelastic lepton scattering off the deuteron are investigated. It is shown that within the spectator mechanism the semi-inclusive cross section exhibits a peculiar scaling property, the spectator scaling, which can be used as a model-independent test of the dominance of the spectator mechanism itself. This property may provide a very interesting tool to obtain model-independent information on the neutron structure function both in the deep-inelastic regime and in the nucleon-resonance production regions.
