Abstract: (APS)
It is shown how, in asymptotically free gauge theories, one can, given the deep-inelastic structure functions for values of q2 in the asymptotic region, calculate explicitly the structure functions for all larger q2. The ratio of structure functions for q2=50 and 5 GeV2 is estimated. Substantial deviations from scaling are found, as well as a dramatic ω dependence, for values of 1<~ω<~4.
