We present a unified description of nuclear deep inelastic scattering (DIS) over the whole region $0<x<1$ of the Bjorken variable. Our approach is based on a relativistically covariant formalism which uses analytical properties of quark…
We performed NLO QCD analysis of the nonsinglet part of the combined SLAC/BCDMS data on $F_2$ with the extraction of $\alpha_s$ and high twist contribution. It was shown that the value of $\alpha_s$ obtained in the analysis is sensitive to…
We study deep-inelastic scattering factorization on a nucleon in the end-point regime $x_B \sim 1-{\cal O}(\Lambda_{\rm QCD}/Q)$ where the traditional operator product expansion is supposed to fail. We argue, nevertheless, that the standard…
This talk serves as an introduction to higher twist effects in nuclei. We want to discuss how perturbative QCD can be applied to processes involving heavy nuclei by taking into account multiple scattering.
Infrared safe differential cross sections, such as event shape distributions, can be measured over wide kinematic ranges, from regions where fixed order calculations are adequate to regions where nonperturbative dynamics dominate. Such…
Higher twist effects in the deeply inelastic scattering are studied. We start with a short review of the theoretical results on higher twists in QCD. Within the saturation model we perform a twist analysis of the nucleon structure functions…
Models of hadron structure are associated with a hadronic scale which allows by perturbative evolution to calculate observables in the deep inelastic region. The resolution of Dyson-Schwinger equations leads to the freezing of the QCD…
