Abstract

The transverse momenta of charged hadrons produced in high energy muon-proton scattering have been studied. The average squared transverse momentum 〈 p 2 ⊥〉 shows a strong dependence on z = E h/ v characteristic of intrinsic momentum effects and a significant rise as a function of s = W 2. The W 2, q 2, x and z dependences of the data are compared with the predictions of a perturbative QCD model.
