Scaling limit of longitudinal virtual Compton cross sections

Abstract

It is shown that the hypothesis that the quark model gives the correct leading, δ′(x2), light-cone singularity of current commutators requires that R, the ratio of longitudinal to transverse virtual Compton cross sections, go to zero like 1/ν in the Bjorken limit.
