Scaling limit of a non-relativistic model
Abstract
I calculate the structure function for scattering from the two-body bound state in its lowest level in a non-relativistic model of confined scalar ``quarks'' of masses mA and mB. The scaling limit in x= q2/2(mA+mB)q0 exists and is non-vanishing only for the values x=mA/(mA+mB) and x=mB/(mA+mB) which correspond to the fractions of the momentum of the two-body system carried by each of the ``quarks.'' In the scaling limit, the interference from scattering off of the two ``quarks'' vanishes. Thus the scaling limit of this model agrees with the parton picture.
