Phenomenological comparison of inelastic electron-proton scattering with reaction K+ p → K0 + anything at 5, 8.2 and 16 GeV/c

We present an analysis of the reaction K + p → K 0 + anything at incident momenta of 5, 8.2 and 16 GeV/ c in terms of the Bjorken variables gw and x . Assuming dominance of ϱ exchange, we derive the structure function F 2 ( x , y ) which is found similar to the one obtained in deep inelastic electroproduction.
