The pion structure is represented by Generelazed parton distribution functions (GPDs). The momentum transfer dependence of GPDs of the pion was obtained on the basis of the form of GPDs of the nucleon in the framework of the high energy…
We calculate nuclear parton distribution functions (PDFs), using the constituent quark model. We find the bounded valon distributions in a nuclear to be related to free valon distributions in a nucleon. By using improved bounded valon…
We construct a simple two-phase model of the nucleon structure functions valid for both small and large Q^2 and in the broad range of Bjorken x. The model incorporates hadron dominance at small x and Q^2 and parton model at large Q^2. The…

We construct a model for double parton distribution functions (dPDFs) based on the notion of self-similarity, pursued earlier for small \textit{x} physics at HERA. The most general form of dPDFs contains total thirteen parameters to be…

We review the present understanding of the spin structure of protons and neutrons, the fundamental building blocks of nuclei collectively known as nucleons. The field of nucleon spin provides a critical window for testing Quantum…
We investigate the parton-distribution functions (PDFs) for the positively charged pion and kaon at a low-renormalization scale ~ 1 GeV. To this end, we employ the gauge-invariant effective chiral action from the nonlocal chiral-quark…
Unintegrated parton density functions (uPDFs) of Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD), also known as TMDPDFs, are generally used to study details of hadronic final states in high energy lepton-hadron and hadron-hadron collisions; while the…
Based on the world DIS data we extract the experimental F_2^p-F_2^n as a function of Bjorken-x and photon virtuality Q^2, using two different methods. Both methods lead to identical results. We find that the standard PDFs fail to describe…
Generalized parton distributions (GPDs) have become a standard QCD tool for analyzing and parametrizing the non perturbative parton structure of hadron targets. GPDs might be viewed as non-diagonal overlaps of light-cone wave functions and…
