We present a determination of the parton distribution functions of the proton in which NLO and NNLO fixed-order calculations are supplemented by NLLx small-x resummation. Deep inelastic structure functions are computed consistently at…
Fits to the final combined HERA deep-inelastic scattering cross-section data within the conventional DGLAP framework of QCD have shown some tension at low $x$ and low $Q^2$. A resolution of this tension incorporating $\ln(1/x)$-resummation…
We review small $x$ contributions to perturbative evolution equations for parton distributions, and their resummation. We emphasize in particular the resummation technique recently developed in order to deal with the apparent instability of…
We review the current status of small x resummation of evolution of parton distributions and of deep-inelastic coefficient functions. We show that the resummed perturbative expansion is stable, robust upon different treatments of subleading…
We extend our previous results on small-x resummation in the pure Yang--Mills theory to full QCD with nf quark flavours, with a resummed two-by-two matrix of resummed quark and gluon splitting functions. We also construct the corresponding…
We present a method for the analytic solution of small $x$ structure functions. The essential small $x$ logarithms are summed to all orders in the anomalous dimensions and coefficient functions. Although we work at leading logarithmic…
We search for deviations from next-to-leading order QCD evolution in HERA structure function data. We compare to data predictions for structure functions in the small x region, obtained by evolving backwards to low Q^2 the results of a…
I review recent theoretical progress in the resummation of small x contributions to the evolution of parton distributions, in view of its potential significance for accurate phenomenology at future colliders. I show that a consistent…
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…
The resummation of $O(\alpha_s^{l+1} \ln^{2l} x)$ terms in the evolution kernels of non--singlet combinations of unpolarized and polarized structure functions is investigated. The agreement with complete calculations up to order…
I present some comments on the partonic interpretation of the HERA data on the proton structure function. The effects of the resummation of the leading and next-to-leading $\ln x$-contributions are discussed. A new factorization scheme, in…
We report on recent progress towards quantitative phenomenology of small x resummation of deep-inelastic structure functions. We compute small x resummed K-factors with realistic PDFs and estimate their impact in the HERA kinematical…
We perform the fit to the structure function $F_2$ data from HERA including terms due to the resummation at small $x$. The equation for the unintegrated gluon density is solved, previously established within the renormalization group…
Small-$x$ logarithmic enhancements arising from high-energy gluon emissions affect both the evolution of collinearly-factorized parton densities and partonic coefficient functions. With the higher collider energy reached by the LHC, the…
We examine critically the evidence for deviations from next-to-leading order perturbative DGLAP evolution in HERA data. We briefly review the status of perturbative small-x resummation and of global determinations of parton distributions.…
We discuss several methods of calculating the DIS structure functions F_2(x,Q^2) based on BFKL-type small x resummations. Taking into account new HERA data ranging down to small x and low Q^2, the pure leading order BFKL-based approach is…
It is widely believed that at small x, the BFKL resummed gluon splitting function should grow as a power of 1/x. But in several recent calculations it has been found to decrease for moderately small-x before eventually rising. We show that…
We calculate DIS-scheme splitting and coefficient functions for electromagnetic deep inelastic scattering with small x resummations, as given by the NLL BFKL equation with running coupling and approximate NLL resummed impact factors. The…
In this contribution, I present a new QCD fit to final combined HERA deep-inelastic scattering cross-section data incorporating $\ln(1/x)$-resummation terms. This fit has been performed within the xFitter framework. The main effect of…
We discuss the theoretical implications of the scaling properties of F_2^p at small x observed in recent HERA experiments. We show that low Q^2 data display double scaling violations which are adequately described by NL ln Q^2 corrections.…
