We provide an assessment of the impact of parton distributions on the determination of LHC processes, and of the accuracy with which parton distributions (PDFs) can be extracted from data, in particular from current and forthcoming HERA…
It is shown that the CKMT model for the nucleon structure function $F_2$ gives a good description of the recent HERA data at low and moderate $Q^2$. Also the fit to the same data obtained with a modified version of the model in which a…

We investigate the effect of large-x resummation on parton distributions by performing a fit of Deep Inelastic Scattering data from the NuTeV, BCDMS and NMC collaborations, using NLO and NLL soft-resummed coefficient functions. Our results…
On the basis of the results of a new renormalisation group improved small-x resummation scheme, we argue that the range of validity of perturbative calculations is considerably extended in rapidity with respect to leading log expectations.…
We consider the resummation of soft-gluon effects in heavy quark to heavy quark decays, namely the processes Q1 -> Q2 + (non QCD partons), where Q1 and Q2 are two different heavy quarks. We construct a new factorization scheme for threshold…
We propose a modified Balitsky-Fadin-Kuraev-Lipatov equation from the viewpoint of the resummation technique, which contains an intrinsic dependence on momentum transfer Q, and satisfies the unitarity bound. The idea is to relax the strong…
The impact of the resummation of leading small-$x$ terms in the anomalous dimensions is briefly summarized for the evolution of non--singlet and singlet polarized structure functions.
We show that a unified approach to the perturbative evolution of structure functions which sums all logarithms of Q^2 and 1/x at leading and next-to-leading order yields results in full agreement with the 1993 HERA data for F_2. This makes…
It is shown that in the leading twist approximation of the Wilson operator product expansion with "frozen" and analytic strong coupling constants, Bessel-inspired behavior of the structure functions F2 and F2cc and also the derivative d(ln…
Total resummation of double- and single- logarithms of x contributing to the spin-dependent structure function g_1 ensures its steep rise at small $x$. In the asymptotic limit x ->0, the resummation leads to the Regge behavior of g_1 and…
A brief overview is presented of recent developments concerning resummed small-x evolution, based upon the renormalization group equation. The non-singlet and singlet structure functions are discussed for both polarized and unpolarized…
In this paper we compare the experimental HERA data with the next-to-leading order approach (NLO) of Ref.[C.~Contreras, E.~Levin, R.~Meneses and M.~Sanhueza,Eur. Phys. J. C 80 (2020) no.11, 1029). This approach includes the re-summed NLO…
The resummation of $O(\alpha^{l+1} \ln^{2l} x)$ terms in the evolution kernels of non--singlet combinations of structure functions is investigated for both QED abd QCD. Numerical results are presented for unpolarized and polarized structure…
It is well known that there are persistent statistical tensions with the standard model in the low Q2 HERA deep inelastic scattering neutral current data characterized by a turn-over of F2(x, Q2) at low x and low Q2. One important…
We define a general scheme for the evolution of fragmentation functions which resums both soft gluon logarithms and mass singularities in a consistent manner and to any order, and requires no additional theoretical assumptions. Using the…
We pursue the hypothesis that the events with a large rapidity gap, observed at HERA, reflect the scattering of electrons off lumps of wee partons inside the proton. A simple scaling behaviour is predicted for the diffractive structure…
Local reconstruction analysis (LRA) is a powerful and flexible technique to study images reconstructed from discrete generalized Radon transform (GRT) data, $g=\mathcal R f$. The main idea of LRA is to obtain a simple formula to accurately…
We summarize our recent results on the small x resummation of the singlet anomalous dimension. We recall the main features of our approach, and briefly describe some work in progress on the inclusion of subleading corrections to it.
We construct a set of parton distribution functions (PDFs) in which fixed-order NLO and NNLO calculations are supplemented with soft-gluon (threshold) resummation up to NLL and NNLL accuracy respectively, suitable for use in conjunction…
