Role of valons in low-p/sub T/ physics

Conference ·
OSTI ID:5178018
Hadron structure is described in the framework in which a nucleon is treated as a composite system of three valence quark clusters, called valons. Their momentum distribution is extracted from deep inelastic scattering data. The valon representation provides a quantitative description of the recombination function, which characterizes the hadronization of quarks. A formalism is then developed in terms of valons and quarks such that the inclusive distributions for hadronic reactions at low-p/sub T/ can be calculated without free parameters. 1 figure.
