The scaling variable ν = xy = 2(E_μ/M) sin²(1/2θ_μ) is useful for the description of deep-inelastic neutrino-nucleon scattering processes. This variable is determined solely by the momentum and angle of the outgoing lepton. The normalized scattering distribution in this variable is independent of incident lepton energy and flux, provided scale invariance is valid. Furthermore the sensitivity to various hypothetical scale-breaking mechanisms is discussed.
