Abstract
The production of neutrons carrying at least 20% of the proton beam energy (xL> 0.2) in e+p collisions has been studied with the ZEUS detector at HERA for a wide range of Q2, the photon virtuality, from photoproduction to deep inelastic scattering. The neutron-tagged cross section, ep→e′Xn, is measured relative to the inclusive cross section, ep→e′X, thereby reducing the systematic uncertainties. For xL> 0.3, the rate of neutrons in photoproduction is about half of that measured in hadroproduction, which constitutes a clear breaking of factorisation. There is about a 20% rise in the neutron rate between photoproduction and deep inelastic scattering, which may be attributed to absorptive rescattering in the γp system. For 0.64
