We examine the gluon distributions in nuclei in the asymptotic region defined by $Q^2 \to \infty$, $x \to 0$. An analysis using the Double Asymptotic Scaling variables of Ball and Forte is proposed. New scaling relations are predicted which…
We consider modifications of the standard non-linear QCD evolution in an attempt to account for some of the missing ingredients discussed recently, such as correlations, discreteness in gluon emission and Pomeron loops. The evolution is…
We perform a NLO QCD analysis of deep-inelastic scattering data, in which we account for absorptive corrections. These corrections are determined from a simultaneous analysis of diffractive deep-inelastic data. The absorptive effects are…
We calculate the NLO corrections for the gluon fragmentation functions to a heavy quark-antiquark pair in ${^{1}\hspace{-0.6mm}S_{0}^{[1]}}$ or ${^{1}\hspace{-0.6mm}S_{0}^{[8]}}$ state within NRQCD factorization. We use integration-by-parts…

The gluon distribution is obtained from the Golec-Biernat-W$\ddot{\mathrm{u}}$sthoff (GBW) and Bartels, Golec-Biernat and Kowalski (BGK) models at low $x$. We derive analytical results for the unintegrated color dipole gluon distribution…

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…
We suggest a new procedure for extrapolating the parton distributions from HERA energies to higher energies at THERA and LHC. The procedure suggested consists of two steps: first, we solve the non-linear evolution equation which includes…
We calculate structure functions at small $x$ both under the assumption of a hard singularity (a power behaviour $x^{-\lambda}, \lambda$ positive, for $x\rightarrow 0$) or that of a soft-Pomeron dominated behaviour, also called double…
The possibility to observe the nuclear modification of the gluon distribution at small-x (gluon shadowing) using high-p_T prompt photon production at RHIC and at LHC is discussed. The per-nucleon ratio, sigma(p+A -> gamma+X) / A sigma(p+p…
Theoretical expectations concerning small $x$ behaviour of the spin dependent structure function $g_1$ are summarised. This includes discussion of the Regge pole model predictions and of the double $ln^2(1/x)$ effects implied by…
We examine the effect of using an angular ordered evolution equation for the unintegrated gluon distribution at small x.
We investigate numerical solution of $Q^2$ evolution equations for structure functions in the nucleon and in nuclei. (Dokshitzer-Gribov-Lipatov-)Altarelli-Parisi and Mueller-Qiu evolution equations are solved in a brute-force method.…
We present the numerical solution of the leading order QCD evolution equation for the orbital angular momentum distributions of quarks and gluons and discuss its implications for the nucleon spin sum rule. We observe that at small-$x$, the…
We discuss the large-x behaviour of the splitting functions P_qg and P_gq and of flavour-singlet coefficient functions, such as the gluon contributions C_2,g and C_L,g to the structure functions F_2,L, in massless perturbative QCD. These…
We study the small-$x$ evolution equation for the gluon generalized parton distribution (GPD) $E_g$ of the nucleon. It is shown that $E_g$ at vanishing skewness exhibits the Regge behavior identical to the BFKL Pomeron, despite its…
We discuss the way in which factorisation is partially maintained but nevertheless modified by process-dependent colour factors in hadronic single-spin asymmetries. We also examine QCD evolution of the twist-three gluonic-pole strength…
In this paper we derive an integral equation for the evolution of unintegrated (longitudinally) polarized quark and gluon parton distributions. The conventional CCFM framework is extended at small x in order to incorporate the QCD…
We present calculations of the structure functions F_2(x,Q^2) and F_L(x,Q^2), concentrating on small x. After discussing the standard expansion of the structure functions in powers of \alpha_s(Q^2) we consider a leading-order expansion in…
