In this talk I review the low x QCD experimental results from HERA and their theoretical underpinnings. In particular, I discuss the structure function $F_2$, large rapidity gap events, pomeron structure functions and $J/\psi$ production.
In the context of noncommutative space-time, we investigate the nucleon structure functions which plays an important role to identify the internal structure of nucleons. We use the corrected vertices and employ new vertices that appear in…
The kinematic region covered by the LHC experiments probes low values of Bjorken-$x$. At the scale relevant for $W$ and $Z$ production the central rapidity region covers $10^{-3} < x < 10^{-1}$. This means that it is the HERA data which…
A measurement of the derivative (d ln F_2 / d lnx)_(Q^2)= -lambda(x,Q^2) of the proton structure function F_2 is presented in the low x domain of deeply inelastic positron-proton scattering. For 5*10^(-5)<=x<=0.01 and Q^2>=1.5 GeV^2,…
We investigate small-x effects in forward-jet production at HERA in the two-hard-scale region kT ~ Q>>Lambda_QCD. We show that, despite describing different energy regimes, both a BFKL parametrization and saturation parametrizations…
Neutral and charged current deep inelastic scattering cross sections and structure functions are presented. The review also discusses improvements to the parton density measurements using jet cross section data and recent high $Q^{2}$…
We discuss the experimental indications on the behaviour of F_2(x,Q^2) at small x both in proton and nuclear targets. By comparing the parametrizations of the data we conclude that shadowing correction effects in a proton target can appear…
We present a method to extract, in the leading and next-to-leading order approximations, the longitudinal deep-inelastic scattering structure function FL(x,Q2) from the experimental data by relying on a Froissart-bounded parametrization of…
We propose a modified Balitsky-Fadin-Kuraev-Lipatov (BFKL) equation for the summation of large $\ln(1/x)$, $x$ being the Bjorken variable, which contains an extra dependence on momentum transfer $Q$ compared to the conventional BFKL…
Diffractive heavy vector meson photoproduction accompanied by proton dissociation is studied for arbitrary momentum transfer. The process is described by the non-forward BFKL equation, for which a complete analytical solution is found,…
In this article we present a review of the structure of the proton and the current status of our knowledge of the parton distribution functions (PDFs). The lepton-nucleon scattering experiments which provide the main constraints in PDF…
Measurements of the diffractive structure function, $F_2^D$, of the proton at HERA are used to extract the partonic structure of the Pomeron. Regge Factorization is tested and is found to describe well the existing data within the selected…
Using the analytical expression for transverse momentum dependent (TMD) gluon density in a proton, a self-consistent simultaneous description of low $Q^2$ data on proton structure function $F_2(x,Q^2)$, reduced cross section for the…
The measurement of forward jet cross sections has been suggested as a promising probe of new small x parton dynamics and the question is whether the new HERA data provide an indication of this. In this paper the influence of resolved photon…
The distribution of transverse energy, $E_T$, which accompanies deep-inelastic electron-proton scattering at small $x$, is predicted in the central region away from the current jet and proton remnants. We use BFKL dynamics, which arises…
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…
Here we publish experimental data on the proton structure function F2 measured with CLAS detector during February and March 1999 in Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility (Virginia, USA).
The recent $F_2$ data can be described using the DGLAP evolution equations with an appropriate choice of input distributions and the choice of the starting scale for the $Q^2$ evolution. We demonstrate in this paper that we cannot conclude…
Motivated by the recent work of Brzemi\'nski, Motyka, Sadzikowski and Stebel in arXiv:1611.04449, where forward Drell--Yan production is studied in proton-proton collisions at the LHC, we improve their calculation by introducing an…
This is a summary of the contributions on the next-to-leading order corrections to the BFKL equation which were presented to the `Small-x and Diffraction' working group at the 1998 Durham Workshop on HERA Physics.
