A Study of Structure Functions for the Bag Beyond Leading Order

Abstract

There has recently been surprising progress in understanding the spin and flavor dependence of deep inelastic structure functions in terms of the same physics needed in the simple quark models used for hadronic spectroscopy. However, the corresponding scale is usually very low, casting doubt on the use of leading order $QCD$ evolution. We show that the conclusions are not significantly altered if one goes to next-to-leading order. In particular, the excellent agreement with unpolarized and polarized valence quark distributions is retained.
