We analyse the data for the proton structure function $F_2$ over the entire $Q^2$ domain, including especially low $Q^2$, in terms of perturbative and non-perturbative QCD contributions. The small distance configurations are given by…
A reanalysis of the model for the longitudinal structure function $F_L (x,Q^2)$ at low $x$ and low $Q^2$ was undertaken, in view of the advent of the EIC. The model is based on the photon-gluon fusion mechanism suitably extrapolated to the…
We present results for the structure function F_L for a gluon target having nonzero transverse momentum square at order \alpha_s. The results of double convolution (with respect to Bjorken variable x and the transverse momentum) of the…
The QCD treatment of the photon structure is recalled. Emphasis is given to the recently derived momentum sum rule, and to the proper choice of the factorization scheme and/or boundary conditions for the evolution equations beyond the…
In the semiclassical approach, inclusive and diffractive quark and gluon distributions are expressed in terms of correlation functions of Wilson loops. Each Wilson loop integrates the colour field strength in the area between the…
The ratio of longitudinal to transverse structure functions, $\sigma_L/\sigma_T$, has been extracted from recent beam-recoil transferred polarization data for the $p(\vec e,e'K^+)\vec\Lambda$ reaction. Results have been obtained for…

We critically analyse the data available on the reduced cross-section in deeply inelastic $e p$ scattering from the H1 collaboration at HERA. We use available data on the longitudinal structure function to deduce the nature of $\d F_2/\d\ln…

The electron and photon structure functions are compared. Advantages of the electron structure function are demonstrated. At very high momenta probabilistic (partonic) interpretation can be preserved despite strong $\gamma$-$Z$…
We investigate the photon structure functions via the photon-photon and photon-vector meson scattering within the framework of holographic QCD, focusing on the small Bjorken $x$ region and assuming that the Pomeron exchange dominates. The…
Structure function measurements of the proton, the photon, and of colour singlet exchange are analysed using fits based on logarithmic Q**2-dependence. The fits reveal the x-dependencies of the hadronic structures and the interaction…
The results of a measurement of the proton structure function F_2(x,Q^2)and the virtual photon-proton cross section are reported for momentum transfers squared Q^2 between 0.35 GeV^2 and 3.5 GeV^2 and for Bjorken-x values down to 6 10^{-6}…
We investigate the photon structure functions at small Bjorken variable $x$ in the framework of the holographic QCD, assuming dominance of the Pomeron exchange. The quasi-real photon structure functions are expressed as convolution of the…
The first measurement of F_2,c^gamma is presented. At low x the measurement indicates a non-zero hadron-like component to F_2,c^gamma. At large x the measurement constitutes a test of perturbative QCD at next-to-leading order, with only m_c…
