Abstract

We discuss the phenomenological extraction of the leading j j-plane singularity from singlet structure functions Fs F_s measured at small x. x. Using a saddle-point method we show that dlnFs/dln1x {\rm d ln} F_s /{\rm d ln}{1 \over x} is a suitable observable for this purpose in the region x102.x \le 10^{-2}. As an application, we confront and distinguish in a model-independent way structure function parametrizations coming from two different QCD evolution equations, namely the Lipatov (or BFKL) equation and the Gribov-Lipatov -Altarelli-Parisi (or GLAP) equation. Recent results at HERA are discussed in this framework.
