Diffractive parton distributions of the proton are determined from fits to diffractive data from HERA. In addition to the twist--2 contribution, the twist--4 contribution from longitudinally polarised virtual photons is considered, which is…
I provide a brief, and therefore necessarily biased, review of the application of effective field theory to electromagnetic processes on the deuteron. Electron-deuteron scattering is discussed for virtual photon momenta up to 700 MeV, and…
We discuss target mass effects in the polarized virtual photon structure functions $g_1^\gamma (x,Q^2,P^2)$, $g_2^\gamma (x,Q^2,P^2)$ for the kinematic region $\Lambda^2\ll P^2 \ll Q^2$, where $-Q^2 (-P^2)$ is the mass squared of the probe…
We compute hadron masses and the lowest moments of unpolarized and polarized nucleon structure functions down to pion masses of 300 MeV, in an effort to make unambiguous predictions at the physical light quark mass.
The concept of the structure of the photon is discussed and the progress in the measurement of various structure functions of the photon as well of parton distributions in the photon is shortly reviewed.
We evolve virtual photon parton densities up to the SUSY threshold and higher using coupled inhomogeneous DGLAP differential equations. Reliable input parameterizations were available from the c-quark threshold. Limited $P^2$ ( target…
We examine the polarized doubly-virtual Compton scattering (VVCS) off the nucleon using chiral perturbation theory ($\chi$PT). The polarized VVCS contains a wealth of information on the spin structure of the nucleon which is relevant to the…
We construct the vector and axial vector currents in Wilson Chiral Perturbation Theory (WChPT), the low-energy effective theory for lattice QCD with Wilson fermions. Our construction is slightly different compared to ChPT in continuum QCD,…
We investigate the transition of the polarized photon structure function $g_1^\gamma(x,Q^2,P^2)$ when the target photon shifts from on-shell ($P^2=0$) to far off-shell ($P^2\gg \Lambda^2$) region. The analysis is performed to the…
Recent data on the (inelastic) Nachtmann moments of the unpolarized proton structure function F2p, obtained at low momentum transfer with the CLAS detector at Jefferson Lab, have been interpreted in terms of the dominance of the elastic…
Threshold photon electroproduction off the proton allows one to measure new electromagnetic observables which generalise the usual polarisabilities. There are -- a priori -- ten "generalised polarisabilities", functions of the virtual…
Forward differential cross-section for diffraction dissociation of virtual photons on nucleon target is calculated in the QCD dipole picture. The numerical estimates are presented and discussed.
We study the structure and perform some explicit calculations for the power ultraviolet divergences and their renormalization in the Chiral Pertubation Theory with lattice regularization in 1 and 2 loops.
This review covers the measurements of the QED and QCD structure of quasi-real and virtual photons from the reaction ee --> ee gamma* gamma(*) --> ee X.
Twist-2 components of the real and virtual photon distribution amplitudes are evaluated in several chiral quark models. The results, obtained at the quark model scale, are then evolved to higher scales, probed in experiments or in lattice…
The sensitivity of the Deep Inelastic Compton (DIC) scattering at HERA to the structure of the virtual photon is discussed. It is demonstrated that the gluonic content of the virtual photon can be pinned down by measuring the photons with…
A model for the longitudinal structure function $F_L$ in the region of low $x$ and low $Q^2$ is discussed. It is constructed using the $k_T$ factorization theorem and a photon-gluon fusion mechanism suitably extrapolated to the region of…

Recent progress on the parton distribution functions of the photon, both real and virtual, is briefly reviewed and experimental possibilities at HERA are discussed.
We discuss the effects of the $s$-channel unitarization on the $x$ and $Q^{2}$ dependence of structure functions. The unitarization is implemented at the level of photoabsorption cross sections by resorting to the light--cone wave functions…
