A different view of deep inelastic electron-proton scattering

Deep inelastic electron-proton scattering is analyzed in the target rest frame using a theoretical approach suitable to describe many-body systems of {\em bound} constituents subject to {\em interactions}. At large three-momentum transfer $\magq$, this approach predicts the onset of scaling in the variable $\yt=ν$-$\magq$, where $ν$ denotes the energy transfer. The present analysis shows that the data, plotted at constant $\magq$, exhibit a remarkable scaling behavior in $\yt$ and manifestly display the presence of sizable interaction effects.
