Abstract

We show how the sum of a hard singularity, F2H(x,Q02)xλF_{2H}(x,Q^2_0)\sim x^{-\lambda} and a soft Pomeron F2P(x,Q02)Const.F_{2P}(x,Q^2_0)\sim Const. for the singlet piece of the structure function F2S=F2H+F2PF_{2S}=F_{2H}+F_{2P} for Q02afewGeV2Q_0^2\sim a few GeV^2, plus a saturating expression for the strong coupling, α~s(Q2)=4π/β0log[(Q2+Λ2)/Λ2]\tilde{\alpha}_s(Q^2)=4\pi/\beta_0 log[(Q^2+\Lambda^2)/\Lambda^2] give an excellent description of experiment i) For small Q^2, 0\lsimQ28.5GeV20\lsim Q^2\leq 8.5 GeV^2, and ii) For large Q^2, 10\lsimQ21500GeV210\lsim Q^2\leq 1 500 GeV^2 if evolved with QCD. The x range is 6×106\lsimx\lsim0.046\times10^{-6}\lsim x \lsim 0.04. The description for low Q^2 implies self-consistent values for the parameters in the exponents of x both for singlet and nonsinglet. One has to have αρ(0)=0.48\alpha_{\rho}(0)=0.48 and λ=0.470[αP(0)=1.470]\lambda=0.470 [\alpha_P(0)=1.470], in uncanny agreement with other determinations of these parameters, and in particular the results of the large Q^2 fits. The fit to data is so good that we may look for signals of a ``triple Pomeron" vertex, for which some evidence is found.
