SUMMARY
The discussion focuses on the concepts of Y-Bjorken and X-Bjorken variables in the context of deep inelastic scattering. X-Bjorken is defined as a scaling variable that represents the momentum fraction of an inclusively observed particle, while Y-Bjorken relates to the calculation of scattering angles. The phenomenon of Bjorken scaling, discovered by Richard Bjorken, is crucial for understanding the structure functions in high-energy physics experiments involving hadrons. The conversation also touches on the calculation of scattering angles from the Y-Bjorken variable.
