We recall the origin of angular ordering of soft parton emission in the region of small $x$ and show that this coherent structure can be detected in associated distributions. For structure functions at small $x$ and at fixed transverse…

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…

We present a detailed comparison of the most recent sets of NNLO PDFs from the ABM, CT, HERAPDF, MSTW and NNPDF collaborations. We compare parton distributions at low and high scales and parton luminosities relevant for LHC phenomenology.…
High Energy collider experiments are moving to the highest precision frontier quickly. The predictions of observables are based on the factorization formula which helps to connect small to large distances. These predictions can be…
Recent progresses of the proton structure measurements and determination of parton distribution functions by $ep$ collisions at HERA are introduced.
Currently, the gluon distribution function is mainly constrained by jet data. Yet, its high-x behaviour is largely unknown. This kinematic region is important, for instance, for the understanding of the production of a massive state at…
In the current region of semi-inclusive deep-inelastic scattering, most events are accompanied by intensive radiation of soft and collinear partons which cannot be reliably described at any fixed order of perturbative QCD. In this paper, a…
The parton momentum density distributions of the proton were obtained from a NLO QCD analysis of HERA and fixed target structure function data. The resulting parton distribution set includes the full information on errors and correlations.
A precise knowledge of nuclear parton distribution functions (nPDFs) is -- among other things -- important for the unambiguous interpretation of hard process data taken in pA and AA collisions at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC)…
I investigate what a direct measurement of the longitudinal structure function F_L(x,Q^2) could teach us about the structure of the proton and the best way in which to use perturbative QCD for structure functions. I assume HERA running at a…
It has been observed recently that a consistent LO BFKL gluon evolution leads to a steep growth of F_2(x,Q^2) for x -> 0 almost independently of Q^2. We show that current data from the DESY HERA collider are precise enough to finally rule…
First, we show how to reduce the sensitivity of the NLO predictions of the Drell-Yan production of low-mass, lepton-pairs, at high rapidity, to the choice of factorization scale. In this way, observations of this process at the LHC can make…
