The transverse size of q q-bar fluctuations of a longitudinally polarized photon is reduced relative to the transerve size of q q-bar fluctuation of a transversely polarized photon. This implies a model-independent prediction of the ratio…
We analyse deeply-virtual Compton scattering on a proton target, gamma* P -> P' gamma in the backward region and in the scaling regime. We define the transition distribution amplitudes which describe the proton to photon transition.…
In the early eighties, L\'opez, Gonz\'alez-Arroyo and the present author proved that, if at a given $Q_0^2$ large enough for perturbative QCD to be valid, structure functions behave as a power of $x$ for $x\rightarrow 0$, then for all…
It is shown that the HERA experimental data on deep inelastic scattering at low values of the scaling variable x < 0.05 are in good agreement with predictions from Generalized Vector Dominance in the full kinematic range from Q2 = 0…

The results of a measurement of the proton structure function F_2(x,Q^2)and the virtual photon-proton cross section are reported for momentum transfers squared Q^2 between 0.35 GeV^2 and 3.5 GeV^2 and for Bjorken-x values down to 6 10^{-6}…
The total hadronic gamma*gamma* cross sections at high energy are calculated as a function of energy and photon virtuality in a model combining Regge exchange, the quark box diagram (a fixed pole in Regge language) and soft and hard pomeron…
We study the scaling behaviour of the pseudo-critical couplings for the chiral phase transition in two-flavour QCD. We show that all existing results from lattice simulations on lattices with temporal extent $N_\tau = 4$, 6 and 8 can be…
Background: Generalized polarizabilities (GPs) are important observables to describe the nucleon structure, and measurements of these observables are still scarce. Purpose: This paper presents details of a virtual Compton scattering (VCS)…
We perform a global QCD analysis of high energy scattering data within the JAM Monte Carlo framework, including a coupling to a dark photon that augments the standard model electroweak coupling via kinetic mixing with the hypercharge $B$…
The method of light-cone QCD sum rules is applied to the calculation of the form factors of $\gamma^*\rho \to \pi$ and $\gamma^*\gamma \to \pi^0$ transitions. We consider the dispersion relation for the $\gamma^*(Q^2)\gamma^*(q^2) \to…
In this article, we calculate the scalar form-factor of the proton in the framework of the light-cone QCD sum rules approach with the three valence quark light-cone distribution amplitudes up to twist-6, and observe the scalar form-factor…

We show that it is possible to fit all of the HERA DIS (deep inelastic scattering) data on $F_2^{\gamma p}$ at small values of Bjorken $x$, including the data at {\em very low} $Q^2$, using a new model for $F_2^{\gamma p}$ which both…
