In a head-on lepton-proton collision with the proton along , hadronic four-momentum conservation gives and . With , the reconstructed Bjorken scaling variable is . This is useful for charged current events whose final neutrino escapes. Initial-state radiation and unmeasured forward hadrons spoil the ideal closure.
