Abstract

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, νW2 can be expressed as a function of ω=2Mνq2 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.
