Abstract

In this paper we make re-analysis of a self-similarity based model of the proton structure function at small xx pursued in recent years. The additional assumption is that it should be singularity free in the entire kinematic range 0x10\leq \textit{x}\leq 1. Our analysis indicates that the singularity free version of the model is valid in a more restrictive range of Q2Q^{2}. We then analyse the defining Transverse Momentum Dependent Parton Distributions (TMD) occurred in the models and show that the proper generalizations and initial conditions on them not only remove the undesired singularity but also results in a QCD compatible structure function with logarithmic growth in Q2Q^2. The phenomenological range of validity is then found to be much larger than the earlier versions. We also extrapolate the models to large xx in a parameter free way.
