Measurements of the proton and deuteron $F_2$ structure functions are presented. The data, taken at Jefferson Lab Hall C, span the four-momentum transfer range $0.06 < Q^2 < 2.8$ GeV$^2$, and Bjorken $x$ values from 0.009 to 0.45, thus…

The gluon contributions to $F_L(x,Q^2)$ in ${\cal O}(\alpha_s)$ are calculated taking into account the transverse momentum of the initial state parton. In comparison with collinear factorization $F_L(x,Q^2)$, is not affected at large $x$…

We discuss the calculation of $F_2^{\gamma}({\rm charm})$ to next-to-leading order (NLO) in QCD, including contributions from both hadronlike and pointlike photons. We show that the former dominates strongly below $x\simeq 0.01$, and the…
The non-conservation of charmed-strange current in the neutrino deep inelastic scattering ($\nu$DIS) strongly affects the longitudinal structure function, $F_L$, at small values of Bjorken $x$. The corresponding correction to $F_L$ is a…
We study the heavy-quark contribution to the proton structure functions F_2^i(x,Q^2) and F_L^i(x,Q^2), with i=c,b, for small values of Bjorken's x variable at next-to-lading order and provide compact formulas for their ratios…
