Abstract: (Elsevier)
The parton theory is developed along several lines. We begin by developing quantum mechanics in the infinite momentum frame. The Galilean analogy is worked out and the use of non-relativistic reasoning in relativistic contexts is illustrated. Applications of infinite momentum quantum mechanics include the computation of the radius of a relativistic bound state, space time visualization of the multiperipheral model, and the eikonal approach to high energy scattering.
