I present a theoretical discussion of the uncertainties related to the QCD analysis of the proton structure function $F_2(x,Q^2)$ at small $x$. The role played by the `unphysical' gluon density is pointed out. It is shown how the study of…
This dissertation highlights the contributions I have made to the field of theoretical nuclear physics, specifically in high-energy Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD). High-energy QCD is a robust subject and my research is refined to the…
Properties of multiparticle final states produced in the central rapidity region of small-x deep inelastic scattering (DIS) are discussed. It is pointed out that these properties contain important information on the nature of the Pomeron -…
The novel possibilities of probing the photon structure and high energy limit of QCD at photon colliders are summarised. We discuss the photon structure function $F_2^{\gamma}(x,Q^2)$, the gluon distribution in the photon and the spin…
We present description of the DIS structure functions F_1 and F_2 at small $x$ obtained in double-logarithmic approximation (DLA). First we clarify our previous results on F_1 and then obtain explicit expressions for F_2. Our calculations…
Coherence phenomena, and the non-universality of parton structure of the effective Pomeron are explained. New hard phenomena directly calculable in QCD such as diffractive electroproduction of states with $M^2\ll Q^2$ as well as new options…
The following topics in perturbative QCD are reviewed: recent theoretical progress in higher-order calculations; soft-gluon resummation for hard-scattering processes at large $E_T$ and high $x$; low-$x$ behaviour of structure functions and…
I review the modern status of QCD theory of diffractive vector meson production with the focus on shrinkage of photons with Q2 and (Q2+mV2)$scaling, j-plane properties of the QCD pomeron and Regge shrinkage of diffraction cone, $s$-channel…
I review recent developments in the study of the low-x partonic content of protons and nuclei, with a focus on the latter, as one expects possible deviations from linear QCD evolution to be most pronounced in that case. I give examples of…
We present the microscopic QCD evaluation of the secondary reggeon contribution to diffractive DIS. It is shown that the interference between Pomeron and Reggeon enters in the maximal possible way. In the region of large $\beta \simeq 1$ it…
We develop the light-cone color dipole description of highly asymmetric diffractive interactions of left-handed and right-handed electroweak bosons. We identify the origin and estimate the strength of the left-right asymmetry effect in…

We study the nucleon and pion structure functions at small Bjorken-$x$ region in the framework of holographic QCD with a special emphasis on the roles of AdS space wave functions. Using the BPST kernel for the Pomeron exchange and…
The LEP experiments are making real progress in understanding the structure of the photon, though the results do not yet give such clear demonstrations of QCD in action as the proton structure has done. Other new results are reported,…
Deep inelastic scattering at low x can be described by essentially only two fitted parameters. The interpretation of J/Psi photoproduction in terms of the gluon structure function is elaborated upon.
Basic properties of Regge poles are reviewed. Regge poles are considered from both t-channel and s-channel points of view. The main part of the review is devoted to the Regge poles in QCD. The method of the Wilson-loop path integral is used…
Structure Functions for small DIS (deep inelastic scattering) $x$ for integrable models are investigated, in particular, for the $O(N)$~$\sigma $-model and $SU(N)$ chiral Gross-Neveu model, which are asymptotically free. We get the…
An overview of DIS 2003 is given with a focus on small-x physics and the interrelationship between deep inelastic scattering and heavy ion physics which furnishes much of the basic information for understanding high-density QCD matter. In…
Coherence phenomena, the increase with energy of coherence length and the non-universality of parton structure of the effective Pomeron are explained. New hard phenomena directly calculable in QCD such as diffractive electroproduction of…
Using the colour dipole approach of the QCD perturbative (BFKL) Pomeron exchange in onium-onium scattering, we compute the cross section for small but hierarchically different onium sizes. A specific term dependent on the size-ratio is…
