We review the latest information that is available about the parton distributions of the proton, paying particular attention to the determination of the gluon. We briefly describe the various processes that have been advocated to be a…
A new measurement of the inclusive DIS ep cross section using H1 data from the year 2000 is performed and combined with published results using 1996/97 data. The new data covers the region of Q2 from 12 to 150 GeV2 at HERA with…

The structure of the photon is studied in high energy photon-proton interactions at HERA and photon-photon interactions at LEP. The status of these measurements is reviewed.
We argue that existing measurements of ep collisions at HERA --in which an energetic photon is made via a QED `Compton' subprocess-- can provide rather detailed information on the photonic parton density of the proton. This function and its…
Spin effects in high energy fragmentation processes can provide us with important information on hadronization mechanisms and spin structure of hadrons. It can in particular give new tests to the hadronization models. In this talk, we make…
