An experimental <particle physicist> who coauthored measurements of <deep inelastic scattering> of <electrons> from <protons>. Comparing scattered-electron energies and angles gave access to proton structure functions and their approximate scaling behavior. The experiment made the proton's short-distance structure testable through momentum transfer rather than through a literal image.<Observed Behavior of Highly Inelastic Electron-Proton Scattering by M. Breidenbach and others>[Byline and abstract: 6-degree and 10-degree scattering, structure function and scaling]{ref}
