We use data on the deep inelastic structure function F_2 in order to constrain the cross-section for scattering a colour dipole off a proton. The data seem to prefer parameterisations which include saturation effects. That is they indicate…
We use the Bessel-inspired behavior of the structure function F2 at small x, obtained for a flat initial condition in the DGLAP evolution equations, with "frozen" and analytic modifications of the strong coupling constant to study precise…
High energy factorization predictions for F2^c are derived using BFKL descriptions of the proton structure function F2 at HERA. The model parameters are fixed by a fit of F2 at small x. Two different approaches of the non perturbative…
We propose an evolution equation for unintegrated gluon densities that is valid for large values of the QCD coupling constant $\bar{\alpha} _s$. Our approach is based on the linear resummation model introduced by Sta\'{s}to. We generalize…
We use the Bessel-inspired behavior of the structure function F2 at small x, obtained for a flat initial condition in the DGLAP evolution equations. We fix the scale of the coupling constant, which eliminates the singular part of anomalous…
An introduction and summary is given of the main results achieved by working group 1: Structure Functions in Deep Inelastic Scattering at HERA. The prospects were discussed of future measurements of the structure functions $F_{2}, F_{L},…
The pomeron structure function is extracted from the latest H1 data and are subject to a QCD analysis. The result shows evidence for gluon recombination.
It is widely believed that at small x, the BFKL resummed gluon splitting function should grow as a power of 1/x. But in several recent calculations it has been found to decrease for moderately small-x before eventually rising. We show that…
The structure function $g_1(x,Q^2)$ is analysed within the formalism based on unintegrated spin dependent parton distributions incorporating the LO Altarelli-Parisi evolution and the double $ln^2(1/x)$ resummation at low $x$. We…
I review the physical and mathematical foundations for the theoretical description of the hadron wavefunction at small $x$ as a Colour Glass Condensate. In this context, I discuss the phenomenon of gluon saturation and some of its…
We compare new HERA data for the longitudinal structure function $F_{\rm L}$ with the predictions of different variants of the dipole model. In particular we show that the ratio $F_{\rm L}/F_2$ is well described by the dipole models and is…
This contribution presents recent ZEUS results on proton structure functions at HERA. The inclusive phi(1020)-meson cross section was measured, and it was used to determine the s-quark content of the proton. The structure function F_2 was…
The chiral nucleon-meson model, previously applied to systems with equal number of neutrons and protons, is extended to asymmetric nuclear matter. Fluctuations are included in the framework of the functional renormalization group. The…
We discuss the Wilson renormalization group approach to the effective action for low $x$ physics. It is shown that in the linearized, weak field regime the RG equation reduces to the BFKL equation for the evolution of the unintegrated gluon…
We present a determination of the parton distribution functions of the proton in which NLO and NNLO fixed-order calculations are supplemented by NLLx small-x resummation. Deep inelastic structure functions are computed consistently at…
We show that the rise in $F_2^p$ at small $x$ and large $Q^2$ seen at HERA is indeed the non-Regge double asymptotic scaling behaviour expected from the perturbative emission of strongly ordered hard gluons. An alternative explanation, in…
We propose and analyze an improved small-x equation which incorporates exact leading and next-to-leading BFKL kernels on one hand and renormalization group constraints in the relevant collinear limits on the other. We work out in detail the…
We computed the deep inelastic scattering (DIS) structure functions $F_2 (x,Q^2)$ and $F_L (x,Q^2)$ in the framework of Gribov-Levin-Ryskin-Mueller-Qiu, Zhu-Ruan-Shen (GLR-MQ-ZRS) equation. Both $x$ and $Q^2$ evolutions of the structure…
We review recent HERA data on the structure function F_2 at small x and large Q^2. We show that the salient features of the data are revealed by comparing them to the double asymptotic scaling behaviour which F_2 is predicted to satisfy in…
Measurements of the proton structure function $F_2$ in the $Q^2$ range $0.6 - 17 \rm GeV^2$ from ZEUS 1995 shifted vertex data and $Q^2 \simeq 1.5 - 20000 \rm GeV^2$ from 1996 and 1997 ZEUS data are presented. From the former and other ZEUS…
