Abstract

We present inclusive distributions for final-state hadrons produced in inelastic muon-proton scattering. Over the total energy range $2 < W < 4.7$ GeV and the momentum-transfer range $0.3 < Q^{2} < 4.5$ Ge $V^{2}$ , the fractional momentum and energy distributions approximately scale. Distributions in transverse momentum display an interesting two-component behavior. They show no dependence on the virtual-photon "mass squared" $Q^{2}$ , and have average values typical of other hadron-initiated reactions. A comparison of our distributions with those seen in $e^{+} e^{-}$ annihilation and neutrino-nucleon scattering shows agreement, in support of quark-parton fragmentation ideas. We further break these distributions down by event topology.
