Motivated by the relation existing between the gluon density in a hadron and the multiplicity of the particles measured in the final state of hadron-nucleus collisions, we study systematically the fluctuations of the gluon density in onia,…
Light strongly interacting supersymmetric particles may be treated as partonic constituents of nucleons in high energy scattering processes. We construct parton distribution functions for protons in which a light gluino is included along…
At high energies a quark-gluon plasma is expected to be formed in heavy ion collisions at RHIC and LHC. The theoretical description of these processes is directly associated to a complete knowledge of the details of medium effects in the…

We investigate the Q^2 evolution of parton distributions at small x values, recently obtained in the case of soft initial conditions. The results are in excellent agreement with deep inelastic scattering experimental data from HERA.
We develop simple analytic representations of the polarized quark and gluon distributions in the nucleon at low $Q^2$ which incorporate general constraints obtained from the requirements of color coherence of gluon couplings at $x \sim 0$…
We analyze the quark mass dependence of photon gluon fusion in polarized deep inelastic scattering for both the intrinsic and extrinsic gluon distributions of the nucleon. We calculate the effective number of flavors for each of the heavy…
We consider the photoproduction of D* mesons associated with two hadron jets at HERA collider in the framework of the kt-factorization approach. The unintegrated gluon densities in a proton are obtained from the full CCFM, from unified…

The proton diffractive structure function $F_2^{D(3)}$ measured in the H1 and ZEUS experiments at HERA is analyzed in terms of both Regge phenomenology and perturbative QCD evolution. A new method determines the values of the Regge…
We investigate a double-spin asymmetry for the semi-inclusive $\Lambda$ hyperon production in the longitudinally deep inelastic lepton-proton scattering, the sign of which can provide us with important information about the strange quark…
We present a novel Monte-Carlo implementation of dynamic colour screening via multiple exchanges of semi-soft gluons as a basic QCD mechanism to understand diffractive electron-proton scattering at the HERA collider. Based on the kinematics…
We calculate single parton distributions inside quark and gluon jets within the coherent branching formalism, which resums leading and next-to-leading logarithmic contributions. This formalism is at the basis of the modified leading…
We consider the interaction of the partonic fluctuation of a scalar ``photon'' with an external color field to calculate the leading and next-to-leading order gluon distribution of the proton following the work done by…
We argue that the distribution functions for quarks and gluons are computable at small x for sufficiently large nuclei, perhaps larger than can be physically realized. For such nuclei, we argue that weak coupling methods may be used. We…
Measurements of the proton structure function F_2 for 0.11 < Q^2 < 20000 GeV^2 and 1.2 X 10^-5 < x < 0.65 from ZEUS 1994-1997 measurements are presented. From ZEUS 1994 and 1995 F_2 data the slopes d(F_2)/d(ln Q^2) at fixed x and d(ln…
New Results on the measurement of the proton structure function F_2(x,Q^2) are reported for momentum transfers squared Q^2 >= 1.5 GeV^2 and Bjorken x >= 3.5 10^{-5} using data collected by the HERA experiments H1 and ZEUS in 1994. F_2…
