The HERA data on the proton structure function, $F_2(x,Q^2)$, at very small $x$ and $Q^2$ show the dramatic departure of the logarithmic slope, $\partial F_2/\partial\log Q^2$, from theoretical predictions based on the DGLAP evolution. We…
We report the results of including resummed splitting functions in the QCD evolution equations at small x, and discuss the predictions that follow for the deep inelastic structure functions. *Contribution at XXX Rencontres de Moriond, Les…
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 $x$. Using $F_2$ HERA data we obtain $F_L$ in the range…
We present results for the structure function F_L for a gluon target having nonzero transverse momentum square at order \alpha_s. The results of double convolution (with respect to Bjorken variable x and the transverse momentum) of the…
We present a QCD analysis of the proton structure function $F_2$ measured by the H1 experiment at HERA, combined with data from previous fixed target experiments. The gluon density is extracted from the scaling violations of $F_2$ in the…
We calculate twist--4 coefficient functions for the deep inelastic structure function $F_2(x,Q^2)$ associated to 4--gluon operator matrix elements for general values of the Bjorken variable $x$ and study the numerical effect on the slope…
I present a full leading-order calculation of F_2(x,Q^2) and F_L(x,Q^2), including contributions not only from leading order in \alpha_s, but also from the leading power of \alpha_s for each order in ln(1/x). The calculation is ordered…
Recently the H1 collaboration has published a ``determination'' of the structure function F_L(x,Q^2) at low x. I address the question of how reliable this determination really is. I argue that it is in fact a consistency check of a given…
We use the unintegrated Parton Density Functions of the gluon obtained from a fit to measurements of the structure functions F2 and F2c at HERA to describe the experimental data for F2b, FL and FL at fixed W.
We compute the longitudinal proton structure function F_L from the k_T factorization scheme, using the unified DGLAP/BFKL resummation approach at small x for the unintegrated gluon density. The differences between the k_T factorization,…
We calculate structure functions at small $x$ both under the assumption of a hard singularity (a power behaviour $x^{-\lambda}, \lambda$ positive, for $x\rightarrow 0$) or that of a soft-Pomeron dominated behaviour, also called double…
We give a brief overview of the perturbative QCD description of the proton deep-inelastic structure function F2(x, Q2) at small x. We discuss GLAP and BFKL approaches, and then we review progress towards a more unified treatment.
The leading effect of light gluinos on the deep inelastic longitudinal structure function is calculated. We present the explicit analitic expression for the Wilson coefficient. After convolution with quark, gluon and gluino distributions we…
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 consider the factorization and resummation of soft and Coulomb gluons for pair-production processes of heavy coloured particles at hadron colliders, and discuss: the construction of a colour basis that diagonalizes the leading soft…
A systematic study is performed of the impact of the various resummed small-$x$ contributions to the anomalous dimensions and coefficient functions on the evolution of unpolarized structure functions in deep-inelastic scattering. The proton…
Starting from an unintegrated gluon distribution which satisfies a `unified' equation which embodies both BFKL and DGLAP behaviour, we compute the shadowing corrections to the integrated gluon in the small x domain that will be accessible…
We compute the proton structure function F_2^p at small x and large Q^2 at next-to-leading order in alpha_s(Q^2), including summations of all leading and subleading logarithms of Q^2 and 1/x in a way consistent with momentum conservation.…
A fast numerical algorithm for the evolution of parton distributions in x space is described. The method is close in spirit to `brute' force techniques. The necessary integrals are performed by summing the approximate contributions from…
