Evidence for valencelike quark-hadron duality

Phys Rev Lett. 2000 Aug 7;85(6):1182-5. doi: 10.1103/PhysRevLett.85.1182.

Abstract

A newly obtained data sample of inclusive electron-nucleon scattering from both hydrogen and deuterium targets is analyzed. These JLab data span the nucleon resonance region up to four-momentum transfers of 5 (GeV/c)(2). The data are found to follow an average scaling curve. The inclusion of low-momentum transfer data yields a scaling curve resembling deep inelastic neutrino-nucleus scattering data, suggesting a sensitivity to valencelike structure only.
