Inclusive Perspectives
read the original abstract
I discuss the relation between inclusive and exclusive dynamics suggested by Bloom-Gilman duality. Duality implies the simultaneous applicability of two distinct limits, the standard DIS limit of hard inclusive processes taken at fixed xB and a limit where the hadronic mass is held fixed. I review experimental evidence for the relevance of the fixed mass limit in inclusive processes at high xF. Semi-local duality suggests that inclusive and exclusive processes occur on the same target Fock states. DIS scaling then implies that the Fock states contributing to hard exclusive processes have a large transverse size, i.e., that the hard scattering occurs off a single parton which carries a large fraction of the hadron momentum.
