Measurements of HERA that explore the parton dynamics at low Bjorken x are presented together with precise determinations of the strong coupling constant alpha_s. Calculations at next to leading order using the DGLAP evolution fail to…
We study inclusive electroproduction on the proton at low $x$ and low $Q^2$ using a soft and a hard Pomeron. The contribution of the soft Pomeron is based on the Stochastic Vacuum Model, in which a nonperturbative dipole-dipole cross…
Over the last two decades, the HERA collider has provided a large amount of new information about QCD dynamics at high energy. While the most appreciated are the measurements of the proton structure functions in a wide range of parton…
We draw attention to some problems in the combined use of high-Q^2 deep inelastic scattering (DIS) data and low-Q^2 hyperon \beta-decay data in the determination of the polarized parton densities. We explain why factorization schemes like…
We examine the latest HERA experimental measurements of the $Q^2$ logarithmic derivative of the proton structure function. We analyze the characteristics of DGLAP with and without screening, as well as a Regge type model, and compare their…
Hadronic antenna patterns can provide a valuable diagnostic tool for probing the origin of the apparent excess of high $x,Q^2$ events at HERA. We present quantitative predictions for the distributions of soft particles and jets in standard…
We present new family of exact analytic solutions for three anyons in a harmonic potential (or in free space) in terms of generalized harmonics on $S^3$, which supplement the known solutions. The new solutions satisfy the hard-core…

We present a BFKL phenomenology of structure functions in the framework of the generalized BFKL equation for the dipole cross section proposed by us recently. We show that the HERA measurements of excitation of charm at $Q^{2} \lsim $10…
The asymptotic freedom is known to split the leading-$\log$ BFKL pomeron into a series of isolated poles in the complex angular momentum plane. One of our earlier findings was that the subleading hard BFKL exchanges decouple from such…
We present a physical model for polarized and unpolarized structure functions and parton density functions (PDFs) of the proton and the neutron. It reproduces the data on F_2^p(x,Q^2) for 0.00001<x<1 and 2.5<Q^2<5000 GeV^2,…
The triple-Pomeron coupling lies at the heart of the predictions for high energy diffractive processes. We explain why the existing determinations, which use single-particle inclusive hadronic data a+b -> a+Y, underestimate the value of the…
The possibility to reanalyse data taken by the HERA experiments offers the chance to study modern QCD jet and event-shape observables in deep-inelastic scattering. To address this, we compute resummed and matched predictions for the…
