It is widely believed that at small x, the BFKL resummed gluon splitting function should grow as a power of 1/x. But in several recent calculations it has been found to decrease for moderately small-x before eventually rising. We show that…
We investigate the possibility to draw conclusions on the sign of the spin-dependent gluon distribution, $\Delta G(x, Q^2)$, from existing polarized DIS data. The spin-dependent parton distributions $\Delta u_v, \Delta d_v, \Delta {\bar u},…
We discuss the large-x behaviour of the splitting functions P_qg and P_gq and of flavour-singlet coefficient functions, such as the gluon contributions C_2,g and C_L,g to the structure functions F_2,L, in massless perturbative QCD. These…
We investigate the nucleon's transverse spin-dependent structure function g_2(x, Q^2) in the framework of the operator product expansion and the renormalization group. We construct the complete set of the twist-3 operators for the flavor…
A generalization of the leading-order DGLAP evolution at small x is performed for the non-singlet structure function by resumming the leading-order DGLAP anomalous dimension to all orders in the QCD coupling. Explicit expressions are…
The small $x$ behaviour of the structure function $h_1(x,Q^2)$ is studied within the leading logarithmic approximation of perturbative QCD. There are two contributions relevant at small $x$. The leading one behaves like $(\frac{1}{x})^0$…
We discuss the spin-dependent structure function $g_2(x,Q^2)$ in the framework of the operator product expansion. It is noted that the anomalous dimensions and coefficient functions for the twist-3 gluon-field-dependent operators depend on…
Following a previous study of the one-loop factorization of the nonsinglet $g_2$ structure function of the nucleon, we present in this paper the next-to-leading order coefficient functions in the singlet sector. To obtain the result, the…
We incorporate the next-to-leading order (NLO) and the next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO) effects in the models of the Singlet Structure function F_2^S(x,t) and the gluon distribution G(x,t) using DGLAP equations approximated at small x.…
We generalize the Catani Hautmann formalism to calculate the Pgq and Pqq transverse momentum dependent splitting functions. Then we use the obtained Pgq kernel to construct a low-x evolution equation for gluons that takes into account the…
The Q^2 dependence of inclusive electron-proton scattering F_2 structure function data in both the nucleon resonance region and the deep inelastic region, at momentum transfers below 5 (GeV/c)^2, is investigated. Moments of F_2 are…
Nuclear structure functions at small x and small or moderate $Q^2$ are studied using the relation with diffraction on nucleons which arises from Gribov's Reggeon Calculus. A reasonable description of experimental data is obtained with no…
Total resummation of leading logarithms of x contributing to the spin-dependent structure function g_1 ensures its steep rise at small x. DGLAP lacks such a resummation. Instead, the DGLAP expressions for g_1 are complemented with special…
We numerically analyse the evolution of the flavor non-singlet $g_{1}$ structure function taking into account the all-order resummation of $\alpha_{s} ln^{2}x$ terms which is expected to have much stronger effects than the DGLAP evolution…
We discuss the phenomenological extraction of the leading $ j$-plane singularity from singlet structure functions $ F_s $ measured at small $ x. $ Using a saddle-point method we show that $ {\rm d ln} F_s /{\rm d ln}{1 \over x} $ is a…
The review of the nucleon spin structure functions problems is presented. The perturbative QCD predictions for the small x behaviour of the nucleon spin structure functions are discussed. The role of the resummation of the ln^2 1/x terms is…
The experiment E155 at SLAC measured the spin structure functions g_1 and g_2 of the proton and deuteron. The experiment used deep inelastic scattering of 48.3 GeV longitudinally polarized electrons incident on polarized solid ^{15}NH_3 and…
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…
We perform a global analysis of all available spin-dependent proton structure function data, covering a large range of Q^2, 1 < Q^2 < 30 GeV^2, and calculate the lowest moment of the g_1 structure function as a function of Q^2. From the Q^2…
A simple model for nuclear structure functions in the region of small $x$ and small and moderate $Q^2$, is presented. It is a parameter-free extension, in the Glauber-Gribov approach to nuclear collisions, of a saturation model for the…
