Our paper Deep inelastic scattering as a probe of entanglement (with E. Levin) is accepted by Physical Review D. In this paper we give a new interpretation of the parton model that is entirely based on entanglement entropy. In particular, we find that at small Bjorken x the entanglement entropy is equal to the logarithm of the parton distribution.
