The proton's gluon distribution

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2014-11-17 v2 High Energy Physics - Experiment

Abstract

The gluon distribution is dominated by the hard pomeron at small xx and all Q2Q^2, with no soft-pomeron contribution. This describes well not only the DGLAP evolution of the hard-pomeron part of F2(x,Q2)F_2(x,Q^2), but also charm photoproduction and electroproduction, and the longitudinal structure function, all calculated in leading-order pQCD.
