<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 />
