Pion and Nucleon Structure Functions near x=1
Abstract
In a colored-quark and vector-gluon model of hadrons we show that a quark carrying nearly all the momentum of a nucleon (x~1) must have the same helicity as the nucleon; consequently νW2nνW2p-->37 as x-->1, not 23 as might naively have been expected. Furthermore as x-->1, νW2π~(1-x)2 and (σLσT)π~μ2Q-2(1-x)-2+O(g2) the resulting angular dependence for e+e--->h+/-+X is consistent with present data and has a distinctive form which can be easily tested when better data are available.
