They are aimed to measure the pion structure function at small Bjorken $x$. The important condition for such a study is to establish under what kinematical conditions the dominance of the pion-pole graph in the process is guaranteed. We analyse other sources of theleading neutron, in order to figure out the kinematical region where the one-pion exchange dominates.17 pagesHigh Energy Physics - Phenomenologytext
