The CKMT model for the nucleon structure function F_2 is in good agreement with the HERA data at low and moderate Q^2. The fit to the same data obtained with a modified version of the model in which a logarithmic dependence on Q^2 has been…
It is shown that the CKMT model for the nucleon structure function $F_2$ gives a good description of the recent HERA data at low and moderate $Q^2$. Also the fit to the same data obtained with a modified version of the model in which a…
The HERA data on the proton structure function, $F_2(x,Q^2)$, at very small $x$ and $Q^2$ show the dramatic departure of the logarithmic slope, $\partial F_2/\partial\log Q^2$, from theoretical predictions based on the DGLAP evolution. We…
We examine the latest HERA experimental measurements of the $Q^2$ logarithmic derivative of the proton structure function. We analyze the characteristics of DGLAP with and without screening, as well as a Regge type model, and compare their…

We study of the accuracy of the Regge behavior of the gluon distribution function for obtain an approximation relation, which is frequently used to extract the logarithmic slopes of the structure function from the gluon distribution at…
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…
The proton structure function F2 is studied in the low x regime using BFKL evolution. The next to leading logarithmic (NLL) analysis requires the inclusion of running coupling effects which lead to off-diagonal terms in the evolution…
The QCD dipole picture allows to build an unified theoretical description -based on BFKL dynamics- of the total and diffractive nucleon structure functions measured at HERA. We use a four parameter fit to describe the 1994 H1 proton…
We show that a unified approach to the perturbative evolution of structure functions which sums all logarithms of Q^2 and 1/x at leading and next-to-leading order yields results in full agreement with the 1993 HERA data for F_2. This makes…
We consider a system of evolution equations for quark and gluon structure functions satisfying the leading-logarithmic behaviour due to both QCD collinear $ \left(LLQ^2 \right) $ and infrared $ (LL1/x) $ singularities. We show that these…
We show that recent data from HERA on the proton structure function $F_2$ at small $x$ and large $Q^2$ provide a direct confirmation of the double asymptotic scaling prediction of perturbative QCD. A linear rise of $\ln F_2$ with the…
We study the perturbative QCD description of the HERA measurements of $F_2 (x, Q^2)$ using a gluon distribution that is obtained from an evolution incorporating angular ordering of the gluon emissions, and which embodies both GLAP and BFKL…
Q**2 dependence of nuclear structure functions is important for understanding perturbative QCD in nuclear environment. However, current experimental data are not sufficient for studying nuclear dependence in the Q**2 evolution because the…
We discuss how the proton structure function F2 is described in the HERA kinematic range by double asymptotic expressions for low x and large Q^2. From a NLO double asymptotic approximation of recent data from the H1 experiment at HERA we…
We summarize recent developments in the understanding of nucleon structure. New data on F2, R and F2c, over a wide range of Q2 and x, are described. Conventional leading twist NLO perturbative QCD gives an excellent account of all the new…
