The drastic rise of the proton structure function F_2(x,Q^2) when the Bj\"orken variable x decreases, seen at HERA for a large span of Q^2, negative values for the 4-momentum transfer, may be damped when Q^2 increases beyond several…

We observe that the DGLAP evolution equations at NNLO analysis predicts a ratio of the structure functions in region of small Bjorken variable $x$. The ratio $F_{L}(x,Q^{2})/F_{2}(x,Q^{2})$ is obtained and compared with the prediction of…

The prediction of FL(x,Q2)=0.27F2(x,Q2) in the color-dipole picture based on color-transparency and transverse-size reduction, is consistent with the experimental results from HERA.

As a consequence of QCD factorization theorems, a wide variety of inclusive and exclusive cross sections may be formulated in terms of a universal colour dipole cross section at small $x$. It is well known that for small transverse size…

We present a calculation of the ratio $\frac{\sigma_{r}}{F_{2}}(x, Q^2)$ in momentum-space approach using the Block-Durand-Ha (BDH) parameterization of the proton structure function $F_{2}(x,Q^2)$. The results are compared with H1 data and…

A measurement of the inclusive ep scattering cross section is presented in the region of low momentum transfers, 0.2 GeV^2 < Q^2 < 12 GeV^2, and low Bjorken x, 5x10^-6 < x < 0.02. The result is based on two data sets collected in dedicated…

It is demonstrated that the global properties of the rapidity gap events at HERA can be understood based on electron-gluon scattering and a non-perturbative mechanism of colour neutralization. Using the measured inclusive structure function…

New Results on the measurement of the proton structure function F_2(x,Q^2) are reported for momentum transfers squared Q^2 >= 1.5 GeV^2 and Bjorken x >= 3.5 10^{-5} using data collected by the HERA experiments H1 and ZEUS in 1994. F_2…

A simple parametrisation of H1 and ZEUS data at HERA is given for the ranges in x and Q^2 of 10^{-4} - 5.10^{-2} and 5 - 250 GeV^2, respectively. This empirical expression is based on a strikingly similar dependence of the average charged…

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}…

This analysis provides new fits of the GBW model and the impact parameter-dependent saturation model (bSat or IP-Sat) to the leading neutron structure function HERA data in one pion exchange approximation. Both parametrizations of the…

We develop a model to compute high-energy reactions of hadrons and photons. The perturbative interaction is described by gluon exchange and the non-perturbative interaction by the stochastic vacuum model which leads to quark-confinement in…

We derive an expression for diffractive F_2 structure function which should be valid at small x for quasi-elastic scattering on a hadron and for quasi-elastic scattering on a large nucleus. This expression includes multiple rescatterings of…

At small-x, the structure function F_L(x,Q2) is driven by the gluon content of the nucleon target and consequently it can unravel the underlying QCD dynamics in that region. In this work, one studies its behavior on photon virtuality Q2 at…
