On Target Mass Corrections to Deep-inelastic Structure Functions

Abstract

We investigate target mass corrections to the unpolarized structure functions of the deep-inelastic scattering by using the traditional Georgi–Politzer method and another approaches. The recent methods for solving the ‘threshold’ problem arisen in the limit as the Bjorken variable x tends to unity are discussed. We present results of a new approach and demonstrate that, in the large-x region, target mass corrections to structure functions calculated by using this method noticeably differ that other approaches give.
