Description

We investigate the Feynman-$x$ spectra of the neutrons produced in the very forward direction in $ep$ collisions using the impact-parameter dependent color dipole model with and without saturation. Our analysis demonstrates that the W and $Q^2$ dependence of the cross-section are independent of the presence of a forward neutron, as predicted by Feynman-scaling. The models prediction are compared with the available HERA data for leading neutrons in $6
