Structure functions and quark models

The purpose of this research is the utilization of experimental structure function moments to test various models of the quark energy-momentum distribution inside the nucleon and to extend these models to discussion in a wider context: the contemporary interacting field theory of quarks and gluons (Quantum Chromodynamics - QCP); and static properties of the nucleon. A complete connection between a general quark energy-momentum distribution and the structure function moments is presented and a cure for the pathology of the lack of necessary kinematical restrictions in these models is extensively validated.
