We apply our systematic NLO small x resummation of singlet splitting functions to the scaling violations of structure functions and compare the results with data. We develop various theoretical tools which are needed in order to relate…
The numerical study of QED radiative corrections in the low $x$ region for the H1 experiment at HERA was performed. The analytical program TERAD91 was used to get the size of the radiative corrections for the measurement of the proton…
In recent years, Fractal Inspired Models of quark and gluon densities at small x have been proposed. In this paper, we investigate longitudinal structure function F-L (x, Q2) within this approach. We make predictions using the QCD based…

We present a set of formulae to extract the longitudinal deep inelastic structure function $F_L$ from the transverse structure function $F_2$ and its derivative $dF_2/dlnQ^2$ at small $x$. Our expressions are valid for any value of…
The theory of deep inelastic scattering structure functions is reviewed with an emphasis put on the QCD expectations of their behaviour in the region of small values of the Bjorken parameter $x$.
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…

Recent developments and selected topics in low-energy QCD are summarized, from chiral effective field theory to systems with strange and charm quarks, from lattice QCD to precision experiments.
The QCD dipole picture of BFKL dynamics provides an attractive theoretical approach to the study of the QCD (resummed) perturbative expansion of small-x physics and more generally to hard high-energy processes. We discuss applications to…
Self-similar properties of proton structure in the kinematic region of low Bjorken x are introduced and studied numerically. A description of the proton structure function F2(x,Q2) reflecting self-similarity is proposed with a few…
In the early eighties, L\'opez, Gonz\'alez-Arroyo and the present author proved that, if at a given $Q_0^2$ large enough for perturbative QCD to be valid, structure functions behave as a power of $x$ for $x\rightarrow 0$, then for all…
We summarize recent developments in the understanding of nucleon structure. New data on F2, R and F2c, over a wide range of Q2 and x, are described. Conventional leading twist NLO perturbative QCD gives an excellent account of all the new…
This contribution reviews the main achievements in inclusive measurements made by the H1 and ZEUS collaborations during the first phase of HERA data taking. The QCD analysis of these data by both collaborations are described. The case for a…
Quark-hadron duality is studied in a systematic way for both the unpolarized and polarized structure functions, by taking into account all the available data in the resonance region.In both cases, a detailed perturbative QCD based analysis…
A review of theoretical models of diffractive structure functions in deep inelastic scattering (DIS) is presented with a view to highlighting distinctive features, that may be distinguished experimentally. In particular, predictions for the…
We employ a parameterisation of the proton dipole cross section previously extracted from electroproduction and photoproduction data to predict the diffractive structure function F2D(3)(Q^2, beta, xpom). Comparison with HERA H1 data yields…

We predict the effect of the charm structure function on the longitudinal structure function at small x. In NLO analysis we find that the hard Pomeron behavior gives a good description of $F_{L}$ and $F^{c}_{k}$ (k = 2,L) at small x values.…
