Abstract

Using the recent relatively precise experimental results on the pion structure function obtained from Drell-Yan processes, we quantitatively test an old model where the structure function of any hadron is determined by that of its constituent quarks. In this model the pion structure function can be predicted from the known nucleon structure function. We find that the data support the model, at least as a good first approximation.
