<strong>History</strong><br />

• <strong>the</strong> method of <strong>the</strong> experiments at SLAC was<br />

<strong>the</strong> same as Ru<strong>the</strong>rford had used in his<br />

experiments to explore <strong>the</strong> structure of an<br />

atom. In case of hadrons lepton-hadronscattering<br />

was a suitable probe.<br />

• <strong>the</strong> idea was to apply a beam of structureless<br />

particles (leptons) at high energy <strong>and</strong> thus high<br />

momentum transfer to obtain a high space-time<br />

resolution.<br />

• this process is called <strong>the</strong> deep-inelastic<br />

electron-proton scattering.<br />
