Scaling
Experimental observation of scaling =
in DIS kinematics (i.e., Q2,ν → ∞ , xB fixed) scattering can be represented as the incoherent sum of elastic scatterings off pointlike spin ½ constituents
inside the target ⇒ origin of partons
N.B. Analogue of Rutherford experiment on scattering of α particles off atoms
DIS regime: xB fixed, the response does not depend on Q2 → scaling

birth of electroweak sector of SM

where dθ = d cos θC + s sin θC ; sθ = - d sin θC + s cos θC θC Cabibbo d , s eigenstates of strong interaction angle dθ ,sθ eigenstates of weak interaction
Comments:
• left-handed transitions between ν and e-/µ-, between quarks, via W ± dθ , sθ justify reactions of the kind K± → µ± ν
• need fourth flavor, the charm (discovered in ‘74)
