A generalization of the leading-order DGLAP evolution at small x is performed for the non-singlet structure function by resumming the leading-order DGLAP anomalous dimension to all orders in the QCD coupling. Explicit expressions are…
The recent $F_2$ data can be described using the DGLAP evolution equations with an appropriate choice of input distributions and the choice of the starting scale for the $Q^2$ evolution. We demonstrate in this paper that we cannot conclude…
We critically analyse the data available on the reduced cross-section in deeply inelastic $e p$ scattering from the H1 collaboration at HERA. We use available data on the longitudinal structure function to deduce the nature of $\d F_2/\d\ln…
QCD predictions on the low-$x$ behaviour of the structure functions are reviewed and compared with the recent measurements of $F_2(x,Q^2)$ at HERA. The present theoretical accuracy of these predictions is discussed.
We report the results of including resummed splitting functions in the QCD evolution equations at small x, and discuss the predictions that follow for the deep inelastic structure functions. *Contribution at XXX Rencontres de Moriond, Les…
We review recent HERA data on the structure function F_2 at small x and large Q^2. We show that the salient features of the data are revealed by comparing them to the double asymptotic scaling behaviour which F_2 is predicted to satisfy in…
We perform the fit to the structure function $F_2$ data from HERA including terms due to the resummation at small $x$. The equation for the unintegrated gluon density is solved, previously established within the renormalization group…

We study a twist decomposition of diffractive structure functions in the diffractive deep inelastic scattering at HERA. At low $Q^2$ and at large energy the data exhibit a strong deviation from the twist-2 NLO DGLAP description. It is found…
A measurement of the derivative (d ln F_2 / d lnx)_(Q^2)= -lambda(x,Q^2) of the proton structure function F_2 is presented in the low x domain of deeply inelastic positron-proton scattering. For 5*10^(-5)<=x<=0.01 and Q^2>=1.5 GeV^2,…

We discuss how the proton structure function F2 is described in the HERA kinematic range by double asymptotic expressions for low x and large Q^2. From a NLO double asymptotic approximation of recent data from the H1 experiment at HERA we…
Nonsinglet contributions to the $g_1(x,Q^2)$ structure function are calculated in the double-logarithmic approximation of perturbative QCD in the region $x \ll 1$. Double logarithmic contributions of the type $(\alpha_s \ln ^2 (1/x))^k$…
Phenomenological studies on the proton structure function F^2 have been carried out to investigate the behavior of F^2, i.e. its x and Q^2 dependence, in the transition from the deep-inelastic scattering region (Q^2 >> 1 GeV^2) to the…
Using the NMC and E665 nuclear structure function ratios $F_2^A/F_2^D$ and $F_2^A/F_2^{C}$ from deep inelastic lepton-nucleus collisions, and the E772 Drell--Yan dilepton cross sections from proton-nucleus collisions, and incorporating…

It is shown that the CKMT model for the nucleon structure function F2, taken as the initial condition for the NLO evolution equations in perturbative QCD, provides a good description of the HERA data when presented in the form of the…
