Abstract
The use of energetic electrons (and other leptons) to probe the structure of hadronic matter has had a long and extremely successful history. We begin with a quick pictorial review and then introduce the Quark Parton Model with its prediction of scaling for deep inelastic ep{yields}eX and {nu}N{yields}{mu}X scattering. Here by `scaling` we mean taht the structure functions F{sub i}(x, Q{sup 2}) depend only on the Bjorken variable x, and not on Q{sup 2}. A study of the QCD-improved parton model is preceded by an introductory discussion of QCD, renormalisation and the running of the coupling constant {alpha}{sub s}. We indicate how the running of {alpha}{sub s}, governed by the universal beta function, can, in principle, sum all the logarithmic ultraviolet divergences associated with the quark-gluon vertices. In an analogous way we indicate how universal running parton densities, governed by Altarelli-Parisi evolution equations, can, in principle, sum all the logarithmic initial state collinear singularities.
