Regge theory provides a very simple and economical description of data for (i) the proton structure function with x<0.07 and all available Q^2 values, (ii) the charm structure function, and (iii) gamma p --> J/psi p. The data are all in…
We present a model based on a dipole picture with a hard and a soft pomeron in which large dipoles couple to the soft pomeron and small dipoles couple to the hard pomeron. The parameters in the model are fixed by proton-proton scattering…
A fit is made to the data for the proton structure function up to Q^2=10 GeV^2, including the real gamma p total cross-section. It is economical and simple, and its form is motivated by physical principles. It is extrapolated down to very…
The muon-proton and muon-deuteron inclusive deep inelastic scattering cross sections were measured in the kinematic range 0.002 < x < 0.60 and 0.5 < Q2 < 75 GeV2 at incident muon energies of 90, 120, 200 and 280 GeV. These results are based…
A model is presented based on a dipole picture with a hard and a soft pomeron. It is assumed that large dipoles couple to the soft pomeron and small dipoels couple to the hard pomeron. Most of the parameters of the model are predetermined…
A precise proton structure function F_2 at low x is measured. The data is interpreted in the framework of QCD with an extraction of gluon density xg. The charm contribution to F_2 is determined in an extended kinematic range. Neutral and…
The ZEUS data on the charm structure function F_2^c at small x fit well to a single power of x, corresponding to the exchange of a hard pomeron that is flavour-blind. When combined with the contribution from the exchange of a soft pomeron,…
While data for the proton structure function demand the presence of a hard-pomeron contribution even at quite small Q^2, previous fits to the pp and p\bar p total cross sections have found that in these there is little or no room for such a…
Regge models for proton structure function with and without a hard Pomeron contribution are compared with all available data in the region $W>3$ GeV, $Q^{2}\leq 3000$ GeV$^{2}$ and $x<0.75$. It is shown that the data do not support a hard…
We predict the effect of the charm structure function on the longitudinal structure function at small x. In NLO analysis we find that the hard Pomeron behavior gives a good description of $F_{L}$ and $F^{c}_{k}$ (k = 2,L) at small x values.…
New small-$x$ data indicate the existence of two pomerons: the usual soft pomeron with intercept close to 1.08, and a hard pomeron with intercept about 1.4
We present new improved parton distributions for the photon. We fit {\bf all} available data on the photon structure function, $F^{\gamma}_{2}(x,Q^2)$, with $Q^2\ge 3$ GeV$^2$, in order to determine the quark distributions. We also pay…
Measurements of the proton and deuteron $F_2$ structure functions are presented. The data, taken at Jefferson Lab Hall C, span the four-momentum transfer range $0.06 < Q^2 < 2.8$ GeV$^2$, and Bjorken $x$ values from 0.009 to 0.45, thus…
Regge theory provides an excellent description of small-$x$ structure-function data from $Q^2=0$ up to the highest available values. The large-$Q^2$ data should also be described by perturbative QCD: the two descriptions must agree in the…
New structure function results from H1 are presented. The measurements cover a huge kinematical range for Q^2, the four momentum transfer squared, from 0.35, GeV^2 to 30,000, GeV^2, and for Bjorken x between \sim 5\cdot 10^{-6} and 0.65. At…
We present a preliminary report on the determination of the intercepts and couplings of the soft pomeron and of the rho/omega and f/a trajectories from the largest data set available for all total cross sections and real parts of the…
We perform a global fit to the inclusive structure function considering a QCD inspired model describing the ep scattering. In lines of a two Pomeron approach, the structure function F_2 has a hard piece given by the model and the remaining…
We show that the charm structure functions $F^{c}_{k}$ have a hard pomeron behavior at low x, as the gluon distribution is dominated by the hard (Lipatov) pomeron at small x and all $Q^{2}$ values. It is shown that the charm structure…
It is demonstrated that the hard pomeron intercept value can be estimated directly from the data on the proton unpolarized structure function: $\alpha_{\rm P}^h(0)-1=0.317\pm 0.028$.
A new measurement of the proton structure function $F_2(x,Q^2)$ is reported for momentum transfers squared $Q^2$ between 1.5 GeV$^2$ and 5000 GeV$^2$ and for Bjorken $x$ between $3\cdot 10^{-5}$ and 0.32 using data collected by the HERA…
