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…

High energy scattering processes of charged particles are accompanied by radiation of hard photons. Emission collinear to the incident particles, which leads to a reduction of the effective beam energy, and the possibility to directly…
In these lectures we discuss the Balitsky, Fadin, Kuraev, and Lipatov (BFKL) theory, which resums the leading logarithmic contributions to the radiative corrections to parton scattering in the high-energy limit, and we apply it to hadronic…
Results from the H1 and ZEUS experiments at HERA on deep inelastic scattering are reviewed. The data lead to a consistent picture of a steep rise in the F_2 structure function and in the gluon density within the proton. Important new…
Preliminary results on a measurement of the proton structure function F_2 are reported for momentum transfers squared Q^2 between 1.5~GeV^2 and 5000 GeV^2 and for Bjorken x between 5.10^{-5} and 0.32 using data collected by the HERA…
The proton structure function $F_2^p(x,Q^2)$ is described in the framework of the off-shell extention of the Regge-eikonal approach which automatically takes into account off-shell unitarity. We achieved a good quality of description for…

In the framework of conventional Regge theory we present a common description of total photon-proton cross-section and proton structure functions in the region $0 \leq Q^2 \leq 5 \ {\rm GeV}^2$. Using it as an initial condition in the…
Measurements of proton structure functions made in neutral and charged current interactions at HERA are discussed, covering four-momentum transfers Q^2 from about 0.5 GeV^2 to 30000 GeV^2. The results include the rise of the structure…
The small-x behavior of structure functions in the saturation region is determined by the non-linear generalization of the BFKL equation. I suggest the effective field theory for the small-x evolution which solves formally this equation.…

A method allowing for a direct comparison of data with theoretical predictions is proposed for forward jet production at HERA and Mueller-Navelet jets at Tevatron and LHC. An application to the determination of the effective Pomeron…
We predict the rate of deep inelastic scattering (DIS) events containing an identified forward $\pi^0$ that is expected in the experiments at the HERA electron-proton collider, in order to see if this process can be used as an indicator of…
Recently the H1 and ZEUS collaborations have presented cross sections for DIS events with a forward jet. The BFKL formalism is able to produce an excellent fit to these data. The extracted intercept of the hard pomeron suggests that when…
A slight incompatibility in recent low-energy and high-energy \alpha_s measurements can be interpreted as evidence for new light colour degrees of freedom. Assuming that these are the gluinos of a supersymmetric extension of the Standard…
