Abstracts
Results of electron-proton inelastic scattering at 6° and 10° are discussed, and values of the structure function W2 are estimated. If the interaction is dominated by transverse virtual photons, ν W2 can be expressed as a function of ω = 2Mν /q2 within experimental errors for q2 > 1 (GeV/c)2 and ω > 4, where ν is the invariant energy transfer and q2 is the invariant momentum transfer of the
electron. Various theoretical models and sum rules are briefly discussed.
