Final-particle correlations in deep inelastic lepton processes

Abstract

A study is made of the additional information learned from measurements of the correlation of two (or more) detected particles in the final states of deep inelastic lepton processes. Generalized Bjorken limits are derived in which the new structure functions depend only on the ratios of the kinematical variables available, just as do the more familiar structure functions W1 and νW2 for electron-proton scattering in the deep inelastic region. Experimental implications are discussed. © 1970 The American Physical Society.
