We present a summary of the physics of gluon saturation and non-linear QCD evolution at small values of parton momentum fraction $x$ in the proton and nucleus in the context of recent experimental results at HERA and RHIC. The rich physics…
A personal summary of the discussions which took place at the informal meeting in Amirim, Israel from June 1-4 2000, concerning the dipole picture of small-$x$ physics is presented. The broad aim of the meeting was to address the question…
Current and future experimental studies of the high-energy limit of QCD, dominated by non-linear gluon dynamics in the low-x sector of the hadron wavefunctions, are presented. Results at HERA (proton) and RHIC (nucleus) pointing to the…

A review is presented of numerous recent results, particularly those submitted to the EPS-HEP99 conference: very high Q^2 ep interactions and direct tests of the Standard Model, new measurements of the structure of the proton (including…
Talk given at the First Workshop on Forward Physics and Luminosity Determination at the LHC, Helsinki, Finland, November 2000. 12 pages, 9 figures
I discuss and connect a number of topics in small-x physics at HERA and at LHC, pointing out recent progress and open questions in theory and phenomenology.
A great interest for diffraction has been generated these last years by the HERA data. They give us the first opportunity to understand high energy diffractive physics in terms of a fundamental theory, i.e. QCD. A review of the main results…
This is a talk given at Ringberg Workshop:"New Trends in HERA Physics", 30 May - 4 June, 1999.In this talk we discuss how deeply the region of high parton densities has been studied experimentally at HERA. We show that the measurements of…
Invited talk at European Workshop on the QCD Structure of the Nucleon (QCD-N\'02), Ferrara, Italy, 3--6 Apr 2002
This talk summarizes recent QCD results from HERA, the Tevatron Collider and Tevatron fixed target experiments.
These notes are a summary of our efforts to answer the question in the title. Our answer is in the affirmative as: (i) HERA data indicate a large value of the gluon structure function; (ii) no contradictions with the asymptotic predictions…
The QCD expectations concerning the deep inelastic lepton - hadron scattering at low $x$ and their phenomenological implications for HERA are summarised. Theoretical predictions for the structure function $F_2(x,Q^2)$ based on the leading…
One of the frontiers of QCD which are intensely investigated in high energy experiments is the high energy (small $x$) regime, where we expect to observe the non-linear behavior of the theory. In this regime, the growth of the parton…
The purpose of the Low-$x$ Workshop series is to stimulate discussions between experimentalists and theorists in diffractive hadronic physics, QCD dynamics at low $x$, parton saturation, and exciting problems in QCD at HERA, Tevatron, LHC,…
Low-x physics is reviewed, with particular emphasis on searches for deviations from GLAP evolution of the parton densities. Although there are several intriguing indications, both in HERA and Tevatron data, as yet there is no unambiguous…
Partons are defined as the quanta in a Fock space description of a hadron. Gluon saturation is described in the Weizs\"{a}cker-Williams approximation for a large nucleus. The elements of DGLAP and BFKL evolution are given with the BFKL…
Diffractive reactions involving a hard scale can be understood in terms of quarks and gluons. These reactions have become a valuable tool for investigating the low-x structure of the proton and the behavior of QCD in the high-density…
In these lectures, I shall discuss small x physics and the consequences of the high gluon density which arises as x decreases. I argue that an understanding of this problem would lead to knowledge of the high energy asymptotics of hadronic…
Deep inelastic electron proton scattering at HERA II will allow precise studies of QCD and stringent tests of physics beyond the standard model. We discuss these two aspects of DIS with emphasis on the regime of high gluon densities at…
