We study the heavy-quark contributions to the proton structure function F2(x,Q2) at next-to-leading order using compact formulas at small values of Bjorken's x variable. The formulas provide a good agreement with the modern HERA data for…
We show that the double asymptotic scaling of the HERA structure function data is consistent with pre-HERA data at larger $x$, soft pomeron behaviour at small $x$ and a sensible starting scale $Q_0$. We can thus actually calculate $F_2^p$…
The perturbative QCD predictions concerning deep inelastic scattering at low $x$ are summarized. The theoretical framework based on the leading log $1/x$ resummation and $k_t$ factorization theorem is described and some recent developments…
We calculate the cross section of beauty production in electron-proton deep inelastic scattering at HERA collider in the framework of the kt-factorization approach. The unintegrated gluon distributions in a proton are obtained from the full…
We consider the behavior of the slope of the nuclear structure function $F_2^A$ in the kinematic region which will be explored in the eA HERA collider. We demonstrate that, similarly to the nucleon case, a `turn over' is predicted in this…
The results of a measurement of the proton structure function F_2(x,Q^2)and the virtual photon-proton cross section are reported for momentum transfers squared Q^2 between 0.35 GeV^2 and 3.5 GeV^2 and for Bjorken-x values down to 6 10^{-6}…
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 present calculations of the beauty photoproduction at HERA collider in the framework of the kt-factorization approach. Both direct and resolved photon contributions are taken into account. The unintegrated gluon densities in a proton and…
We develop the color dipole gBFKL phenomenology of a diffraction cone for photo- and electroproduction $\gamma^{*}N \to VN$ of heavy vector mesons (charmonium & bottonium) at HERA and in fixed target experiments. We predict a substantial…
We develop two approaches to the problem of soft fragmentation of hadrons in a gauge theory for high energy processes. The first approach directly adapts the standard resummation of the parton distribution function's anomalous dimension…
A feasible mechanism of unitarization of amplitudes of deep inelastic scattering at small values of Bjorken $x$ is the gluon fusion. However, its efficiency depends crucially on the vacuum color screening effect which accompanies the…
I explicitly calculate the anomalous dimensions and splitting functions governing the Q^2 evolution of the parton densities and structure functions which result from the running coupling BFKL equation at LO, i.e. I perform a resummation in…
This is an extended and pedagogically oriented version of our recent work, in which we proposed an improvement of the splitting functions at small x which overcomes the apparent problems encountered by the BFKL approach.
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…
Using the QCD dipole picture of the hard BFKL pomeron, we derive the general expressions of the elastic and inelastic components of the proton diffractive structure functions. We obtain a good 7 parameter fit (including a secondary reggeon…
We show that it is possible to describe the effective Pomeron intercept using NLO BFKL evolution together with collinear improvements. In order to obtain a good description over the whole range of Q^2 we use a non-Abelian physical…
We calculate the leading order BFKL amplitude for the exclusive diffractive process \gamma*_L(Q1^2) \gamma*_L(Q2^2) \to \rho_L^0 \rho_L^0 in the forward direction, which can be studied in future high energy e^+e^- linear colliders. The…
The small x behaviour of the non-singlet structure function is studied within the double logarithmic approximation (DLA) of perturbative QCD. Since there is neither $k_T$ nor $\theta$ ordering in the ladder Feynman graphs, the predicted…
The high energy limit of scattering processes in QCD is, at least on the purely theoretical level, described by the BFKL equation. However, many phenomenological studies of BFKL fail miserably when confronted with data. In this talk we will…
To study diffractive photon production at HERA, we compute the projection of the virtual photon-photon impact-factor on the BFKL leading-order eigenfunctions E(n,nu) for non-zero transfer. This calculation supplements former ones performed…
