Hadron transverse momentum spectra are proposed as a means to probe the underlying partonic dynamics in deep inelastic scattering. The BFKL evolution equation, postulated for small Bjorken-$x$, leads to an enhanced parton emission over the…
The behavior of the structure function at high energies (high densities) is directly associated to the gluon distribution. In this paper we analyze the asymptotic behavior of the structure function at very high densities considering a…
We study infrared contributions to the QCD description of the HERA data on the structure function $F_{2}$ within the \textit{generalized} DAS approximation. We argue that this approximation is a natural one and consistent with the…
We provide compact formulas for the heavy quarks structure functions $F^{q\bar{q}}_{2}(x, Q^{2})$ and $F^{q\bar{q}}_{L}(x, Q^{2})$, with $q = c, b$ and $t$, in $e^{-}p$ interaction with respect to the behavior of the gluon density at the…
Calculations are presented of the longitudinal structure function $F_L(x, Q^2)$. We use next-to-leading order expressions in QCD $({\cal{O}}(\alpha_s^2))$ plus parton densities determined previously from global fits to data on deep…
We argue that the deep inelastic structure function $F_2^{\gamma p}(x, Q^2)$, regarded as a cross section for virtual $\gamma^*p$ scattering, is hadronic in nature. This implies that its growth is limited by the Froissart bound at high…
We discuss possible applications of the equations of motion in the generalized Wilson loop space to the phenomenology of the three-dimensional parton distribution functions in the large-$x_B$ approximation. This regime is relevant for…
To obtain improved parton densities of the proton, we present a new global analysis of deep inelastic and related data including, in particular, the recent measurements of $F_2$ at HERA, of the asymmetry of the rapidity distributions of…
We extract the deep inelastic scattering cross-sections ratio $R= \sigma _L/\sigma _T$ in the range $10^{-4} \leq x \leq 10^{-1}$ from $F_2$ HERA data using very simple relations based on perturbative QCD. The result depends on only one…
In order to probe the dynamics of parton evolution in deep inelastic scattering at small x, high-p_T particles produced centrally in pseudorapidity are studied. In the BFKL mechanism gluon radiation is expected to be more abundant than for…
Explicit expressions for the non-singlet and singlet structure functions g_1 in the small-x region are obtained. They include the total resummation of the double- and single- logarithms of x and account for the running QCD coupling effects.…
$Q^2$ evolution of structure functions in the nucleon and nuclei is investigated by using usual DGLAP equations and parton-recombination equations. Calculated results for proton's $F_2$ and for the ratio $F_2^{Ca}/F_2^D$ are compared with…
We calculate the $O(\alpha_s^2)$ heavy flavor corrections to charged current deep-inelastic scattering at large scales $Q^2 \gg m^2$. The contributing Wilson coefficient are given as convolutions between massive operator matrix elements and…
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…
The $Q^2$ evolution of polarised parton distributions at small $x$ is studied. Various analytic approximations are critically discussed. We compare the full evolution with that obtained from the leading-pole approximation to the splitting…
We outline the existing descriptions of the charm component of the deep inelastic proton structure function F2. We discuss recent approaches to include charm mass effects in the parton evolution equations and the coefficient functions.
The Standard Approach (SA) for description of the structure function g_1 combines the DGLAP evolution equations and Standard Fits for the initial parton densities. The DGLAP equations describe the region of large Q^2 and large x, so there…
Using the ``Quality Factor'' (QF) method, we analyse the scaling properties of deep-inelastic processes at HERA and fixed target experiments for x<0.01. We look for scaling formulae of the form sigma(tau), where tau(log Q^2, Y) is a scaling…
