Space-time structure of a bound nucleon

Abstract

Distortions of bound nucleon space-time structure, measured in deep inelastic scattering off nuclei, are discussed from view-point of a theoretical approach based on the Bethe-Salpeter formalism. It is shown that modification of the structure function $F_2^{\mathrm{N}}$ results from relative time dependence in Green functions of bound nucleons. The modification plays fundamental role in analysis of deep inelastic scattering experiments and allows one to obtain new information about nucleon structure.
