Vacuum Polarization and the Quark-Parton Puzzle
Abstract
We suggest a solution to the question of why isolated quark-partons are not observed. It is argued that gauge theories can have the light-cone behavior of quark fields without quark production in deep-inelastic reactions. Our ideas are illustrated in the exact solution of quantum electrodynamics in one space and one time dimension. The theory's crucial physical property is the extreme polarizability of its vacuum. Predictions for deep inelastic final states are presented.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
