We summarize our recent results on small x resummation in full QCD with n_f quark flavours and discuss their phenomenological impact in the extraction of parton distributions from present day structure function data and their extrapolation…
The relations between neutrino NC and CC structure functions and cross sections, which are driven by isospin symmetry, are discussed for nucleons and nuclei.
The data from the last seven experiments performed on polarized deep--inelastic scattering on proton and neutron (or deuteron) targets have been analyzed in search of a precise determination of the spin fraction carried by the quarks in the…
SMC performed an investigation of the spin structure of the nucleon by measuring deep inelastic scattering of polarised muons off polarised protons and deuterons. A summary of the results for spin structure functions and sum rules is given.
This talk reviews some recent results on the NLL resummed small-x gluon splitting function, as determined including renormalisation-group improvements. It also discusses the observation that the LO, NLO, NNLO, etc. hierarchy for the gluon…
It is shown that nucleonic structure functions are $x-$ and $Q^{2}-$rescaled in nuclei. The $x-$rescaling accounts for nuclear effects in the case of exact scaling, while the $Q^{2}-$rescaling is responsible for a corresponding modification…
We review the theory and phenomenology of deep inelastic polarized lepton-nucleon scattering in the light of recent data with a deuteron target from the SMC at CERN and a Helium 3 target from the E142 experiment at SLAC. After including…
The $n$-th moments of the nuclear structure function $F_2^A(x,Q^2)$ are analyzed using the off-shell kinematics appropriate to describe deep inelastic electron-nucleus scattering within the impulse approximation. It is shown that off-shell…
We construct a dynamical model for the parton distributions in a nucleus by perturbative evolution of input distributions from a low starting scale. These input distributions are obtained by modifications of the corresponding free nucleon…
It is shown that intrinsic orbital motion of the valence quarks has large influences on the spin-dependent as well as the spin-averaged nucleon structure functions. Its connection with the observed ``very small contribution of quark spin to…
We consider low-$x$ behaviour of the spin structure functions $g_1(x)$ and $h_1(x)$ in the unitarized chiral quark model which combines ideas on the constituent quark structure of hadrons with a geometrical scattering picture and unitarity.…
Nuclear parton distributions and structure functions are determined in an effective chiral quark theory. We also discuss an extension of our model to fragmentation functions.
Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) is generally assumed to be the fundamental theory underlying nuclear physics. In recent years there is progress towards investigating the nucleon structure from first principles of QCD. Although this structure…
We investigate the nuclear shadowing mechanism in the context of perturbative QCD and the Glauber multiple scattering model. Using recent HERA data on nucleon structure function at small $x$, we put stringent constrains on the nucleon gluon…
Explicit expressions for the non-singlet and singlet structure functions g_1 at the small $x$-region are obtained. They include the total resummation of double-logarithmic contributions and accounting for the running QCD coupling effects.…
We present very simple non-integral relations between deep inelastic structure functions $F_L$, $F_2$ and the gluon distribution at small $x$ based on perturbative QCD which are useful for the phenomenological analysis of data at low $x$.…
