Recent diffractive structure function measurements in deep inelastic scattering (DIS) by the H1 and ZEUS experiments at HERA are reviewed. In neutral current (NC) DIS, precise measurements have been made of diffraction, $ep \to eXY$, the…
H1 has measured the diffractive DIS cross section $ep \rightarrow eXY$ using data from both of the HERA data-taking periods. Using new measurements of the diffractive cross section at different centre-of-mass energies, the diffractive…

We analyse recent data on the production of forward neutrons in deep inelastic scattering at HERA in the framework of a perturbative QCD description for semi-inclusive processes, which includes fracture functions. Using a model estimate for…
We report on a measurement of the proton structure function $F_2$ in the range $3.5\times10^{-5}\leq x \leq 4\times10^{-3}$ and 1.5 ${\rm GeV^2} \leq Q^2 \leq15$ ${\rm GeV^2}$ at the $ep$ collider HERA operating at a centre-of-mass energy…
Preliminary results on a measurement of the proton structure function F_2 are reported for momentum transfers squared Q^2 between 1.5~GeV^2 and 5000 GeV^2 and for Bjorken x between 5.10^{-5} and 0.32 using data collected by the HERA…
An extraction of the longitudinal proton structure function FL(x,Q2) from H1 data at low Q2 (about 1 GeV2) and low Bjorken x (about 0.00005) is reported. The analysis is based on the data collected in a dedicated low Q2 running period in…

"Static" structure functions are the probabilistic distributions computed from the square of the light-front wavefunctions of the target hadron. In contrast, the "dynamic" structure functions measured in deep inelastic lepton-hadron…
The status and ongoing developments in the field of deep inelastic scattering presented at the DIS01 workshop in Bologna are discussed from both the experimental and the theoretical perspective.
The $e^{+}p$ and $e^{-}p$ scattering data recorded at HERA during the recent years offer the possibility to study electroweak effects in $ep$ interactions apparent at high momentum transfers, $Q^{2}$, and to reveal information on the proton…
