Experimental data are consistent with this model assuming that the hadronic fluctuation of the virtual photon has a size of <r^2> ~ 1/(4m_q^2 + Q^2), where m_q is the mass of the light constituent quark.Invited talk at the 14th International Workshop on Nuclear Dynamics, January 31 - February 7, 1998, Snowbird, USAHigh Energy Physics - Phenomenologytext
