Deep Inelastic Scattering and Gauge/String Duality [PDF]

open access: yes, 2002
We study deep inelastic scattering in gauge theories which have dual string descriptions. As a function of $gN$ we find a transition. For small $gN$, the dominant operators in the OPE are the usual ones, of approximate twist two, corresponding to ...
