A Study on the Structure Functions and the radius of the Nucleons

We have investigated the properties of the structure functions of the nucleons in the context of the statistical model using only the radius parameter of the respective nucleons. The radius of the neutron has been estimated and is found to be 0.8fm. It is interesting to observe that the proton radius 0.865fm which exactly equals to the most accepted charge radius of the proton and which in turn characterizes proton as a meso object, yields reasonable results for the structure function and its properties. GT sum rule has been investigated with some interesting conclusions.
