The phenomenology of gluon saturation at small parton momentum fraction, Bjorken-x, in the proton and in the nucleus is introduced. The experimentally-accessible kinematic domains at the nucleus-nucleus colliders RHIC and LHC are discussed.…
Saturation at low x appears as an almost unavoidable consequence of the two-gluon exchange generic structure. Consistency of the ansatz for the vector part of the color dipole cross section with conventional evolution determines the energy…
In the Bjorken limit of the present theory of deep inelastic scattering (DIS) the structure functions (up to anomalous dimensions and perturbative QCD corrections) are described by the parton model. However the current operator in the…
A very wide body of HERA diffractive electroproduction data is confronted with the predictions of the colour dipole model. In doing so we focus upon three different parameterisations of the dipole scattering cross-section, whose parameters…
It has been proposed that at small Bjorken $x$, or equivalently at high energy, hadrons represent maximally entangled states of quarks and gluons. This conjecture is in accord with experimental data from the electron-proton collider HERA at…
We develop a dipole model for HERA DIS data which incorporates the impact parameter distribution of the proton. The model describes the inclusive total $\gamma^*p$ cross-sections as well as the diffractive $J/\psi$ differential…
Current and future experimental studies of the high-energy limit of QCD, dominated by non-linear gluon dynamics in the low-x sector of the hadron wavefunctions, are presented. Results at HERA (proton) and RHIC (nucleus) pointing to the…
Charged particle production in deep-inelastic ep scattering is measured with the H1 detector at HERA. The kinematic range of the analysis covers low photon virtualities, 5 < Q^2 < 100 GeV^2, and small values of Bjorken-x, 10^{-4} < x <…
We present a global analysis of available data on inclusive structure functions measured in electron-proton scattering at small values of Bjorken-x, including the latest data from the combined HERA analysis on reduced cross sections. Our…
Di-jet photoproduction in polarized ep collisions at HERA is studied as a possible tool to determine the parton content of circularly polarized photons. The concept of the `effective parton density' approximation is extended to the…
Saturation at low x appears as an almost unaboidable consequence of the two-gluon excange generic structure.
Nuclear deep inelastic scattering is considered in the framework of a model in which the current operator explicitly satisfies Poincare invariance and current conservation. The results considerably differ from the standard ones at small…
A first part of this review is devoted to a summary of our extensive studies of the discovery potential for instanton(I)-induced, deep-inelastic processes at HERA. Included are some key issues about I-perturbation theory, an exploitation of…
In the recent experiments like DIS at HERA or the heavy-ion experiments at RHIC, and also in expected LHC at CERN, the number of involved partons is very large, due to the high energy and/or the high number of participants of those…
One of the frontiers of QCD which are intensely investigated in high energy experiments is the high energy (small $x$) regime, where we expect to observe the non-linear behavior of the theory. In this regime, the growth of the parton…
In this talk, we present a global analysis of available small-x data on inclusive DIS and exclusive diffractive processes, including the latest data from the combined HERA analysis on reduced cross sections within the Impact-Parameter…
The geometric scaling property observed in the HERA data at small x, that the deep inelastic scattering (DIS) total cross-section is a function of only the variable Q^2*x^\lambda, has been argued to be a manifestation of the saturation…
A detailed study of inclusive deep inelastic scattering (DIS) from mirror A = 3 nuclei at large values of the Bjorken variable x is presented. The main purpose is to estimate the theoretical uncertainties on the extraction of the neutron…
We extract the S-matrix element for dipole-proton scattering using the data on diffractive electroproduction of vector mesons at HERA. By considering the full t dependence of this process we are able to reliably unfold the profile of the…
Data from the HERA collider experiments, H1 and ZEUS, have been fundamental to the rapid recent development of our understanding of the partonic composition of the proton and of QCD. This report focuses on inclusive measurements of neutral…
