Abstract

Being reformulated in the color dipole basis of small-x QCD Adler's theorem establishes a connection between perturbative and non-perturbative descriptions of DIS and quantifies the effect of non-perturbative dynamics on would-be-perturbative observables. In particular, it provides a quantitative measure of the non-perturbative influence on the longitudinal structure function in charged current DIS and imposes stringent constraints on non-perturbative parameters of color dipole models. Our analysis calls for new experimental tests of Adler's theorem in diffractive neutrino scattering.
