At high energies a quark-gluon plasma is expected to be formed in heavy ion collisions at RHIC and LHC. The theoretical description of these processes is directly associated to a complete knowledge of the details of medium effects in the…
We present non-linear corrections (NLC) to the distribution functions at low values of $x$ and $Q^{2}$ using the parametrization $F_{2}(x,Q^{2})$ and $F_{L}(x,Q^{2})$. We use a direct method to extract non-linear corrections to the ratio of…
We investigate the nucleon and pion gluon distribution functions in the framework of holographic QCD, focusing on the small Bjorken x region. Based on an approximate relation, the gluon distributions are extracted from structure functions…
Using updated gluon distributions from global fits to data, we investigate the sensitivity of direct photoproduction of heavy quarks and exclusive production of vector mesons to varying strength of gluon modifications. Implications of using…
We consider a system of evolution equations for quark and gluon structure functions satisfying the leading-logarithmic behaviour due to both QCD collinear $ \left(LLQ^2 \right) $ and infrared $ (LL1/x) $ singularities. We show that these…
We present a review of recent applications of nonlocal chiral effective theory to hadron structure studies. Starting from a nonlocal meson--baryon effective chiral Lagrangian, we show how the introduction of a correlation function…
We argue that the collinear factorization of the fragmentation functions in high energy nuclear collisions breaks down at transverse momenta $p_T \lesssim Q_s/g$ due to high parton densities in the colliding hadrons and/or nuclei. We find…
The past decade has provided a much clearer picture of the structure of high-momentum components in nucleons, associated with hard, short-distance interactions between pairs of nucleons. Recent Jefferson Lab data on light nuclei suggest a…
A model for the longitudinal structure function $F_L$ in the region of low $x$ and low $Q^2$ is discussed. It is constructed using the $k_T$ factorization theorem and a photon-gluon fusion mechanism suitably extrapolated to the region of…
We calculate the perturbative parts of the structure functions $F_2^c$ and $F_L^c$ for a gluon target having nonzero transverse momentum squared at order $\alpha_s$. The results of the double convolution (with respect to the Bjorken…
The relationship between medium modifications of nucleon electromagnetic form factors and nucleon structure functions is examined using a model motivated by Light-Front Holographic QCD (LFHQCD). These modifications are closely connected…
The longitudinal structure function is considered at the next-to-leading order approximation using the expansion method, as defined by M.B.Gay Ducati and P.B.Goncalves [Phys.Lett.B {\bf390}, 401 (1997)] and further developed by Jingxuan…
The physics, and a design, of a Large Hadron Electron Collider (LHeC) are sketched. With high luminosity, 10^{33}cm^{-2}s^{-1}, and high energy, \sqrt{s}=1.4 TeV, such a collider can be built in which a 70 GeV electron (positron) beam in…
A first measurement is reported of the longitudinal proton structure function F_L(x,Q^2) at the ep collider HERA. It is based on inclusive deep inelastic e^+p scattering cross section measurements with a positron beam energy of 27.5 GeV and…

A scenario of evolution of the shape of nucleons with increasing energy is described in the framework of extended parton model, which consistently takes into account the transverse motion of the partons. At the energy $E$ up to LHC, the…

We predict the effect of the charm structure function on the longitudinal structure function at small x. In NLO analysis we find that the hard Pomeron behavior gives a good description of $F_{L}$ and $F^{c}_{k}$ (k = 2,L) at small x values.…
