We compute the structure function $g_2$ for a gluon target in perturbative QCD at order $\as$. We show that its first moment vanishes, as predicted by the Burkhardt-Cottingham sum rule.
I review recent results by Fadin,Lipatov and collaborators and by our group,leading to the almost complete calculation of the next-to-leading BFKL kernel,of its eigenvalues,and of the resummed gluon anomalous dimension. Qualitative…
Fully differential heavy quark contributions to the photon structure functions in deeply inelastic scattering are computed in next-to-leading order QCD, including both the direct and resolved contributions. A variety of distributions are…
We analyse LEP and PETRA data on single inclusive charged hadron cross-sections to establish new sets of Next-to-Leading order Fragmentation Functions. Data on hadro-production of large-$p_{\bot}$ hadrons are also used to constrain the…
This paper studies estimation of linear panel regression models with heterogeneous coefficients, when both the regressors and the residual contain a possibly common, latent, factor structure. Our theory is (nearly) efficient, because based…
In many modern applications, a dependent functional response is observed for each subject over repeated time, leading to longitudinal functional data. In this paper, we propose a novel statistical procedure to test whether the mean function…
We perform a global fit to the structure function F_2 measured in lepton-proton experiments at small values of Bjorken-x, x\le 0.01, for all experimentally available values of Q^2, 0.045 GeV^2\le Q^2 \le 800 GeV^2. We show that the recent…
The QCD dipole picture allows to build an unified theoretical description -based on BFKL dynamics- of the total and diffractive nucleon structure functions. We use a four parameter fit to describe the 1994 H1 proton structure function F2…
The results of LO {\it Fixed point} QCD (FP-QCD) analysis of the CCFR data for the nucleon structure function $~xF_3(x,Q^2)~$ are presented. The predictions of FP-QCD, in which $~\alpha_{s}(Q^2)~$ tends to a nonzero coupling constant…
We review small $x$ contributions to perturbative evolution equations for parton distributions, and their resummation. We emphasize in particular the resummation technique recently developed in order to deal with the apparent instability of…
We present the analytic calculation of the Mellin moments of the structure functions F_2, F_3 and F_L in perturbative QCD up to second order corrections and in leading twist approximation. We calculate the 2-loop contributions to the…
We present detailed analysis of the $T$-even lepton angular distribution in the Drell-Yan process including $\gamma/Z^0$ gauge boson exchange and using perturbative QCD based on the collinear factorization scheme at leading order in the…
We search for deviations from next-to-leading order QCD evolution in HERA structure function data. We compare to data predictions for structure functions in the small x region, obtained by evolving backwards to low Q^2 the results of a…
We propose nonparametric methods for functional linear regression which are designed for sparse longitudinal data, where both the predictor and response are functions of a covariate such as time. Predictor and response processes have smooth…
We present results from a high precision experimental study of the nuclear modification of the longitudinal ($F_L$) to transverse ($F_1$) structure function ratio for bound nucleons in the resonance region. The inclusive electron scattering…
A summary is given on the main aspects which were discussed by the working group. They include new results on the deep inelastic scattering structure functions $F_2, xF_3, F_L$ and $F_2^{c\bar{c}}$ and their parametrizations, the…
The first measurements of the diffractive structure function $F_2^{D(3)}$ at HERA are discussed. A factorisable interpretation in which a partonic structure is assigned to the pomeron is investigated through QCD analyses in which both the…
In the hadronic decays of Z, gluon emission leads to the appearance of the longitudinal component of the fragmentation function, F_L. Measurement of F_L and the transverse component, F_T, could thus provide an insight into the gluon…
Order $\alpha_s$-corrections to the diffractive structure functions $F_L^D$ and $F_2^D$ at large $Q^2$ and small $x$ are evaluated in the semiclassical approach, where the initial proton is treated as a classical colour field. The…
Factor structures or interactive effects are convenient devices to incorporate latent variables in panel data models. We consider fixed effect estimation of nonlinear panel single-index models with factor structures in the unobservables,…
