Question
In the limit $\nu, Q^2 \rightarrow \infty$, with $x$ fixed, show that the Callan-Gross relation implies that the virtual photon-quark cross sections of $(8.53),(8.54)$ satisfy$$\frac{\sigma_L}{\sigma_T} \rightarrow 0$$
Step 1
The Callan-Gross relation is a fundamental result in deep inelastic scattering (DIS) which relates the structure functions measured in electron-proton scattering. Specifically, it states that $F_2(x) = 2xF_1(x)$, where $F_1(x)$ and $F_2(x)$ are the structure Show more…
