An analytical solution of the QCD evolution equations for the singlet and gluon distribution is presented. We decouple DGLAP evolution equations into the initial conditions by using a Laplace transform method at $N^{n}LO$ analysis. The…
We recently derived an explicit expression for the gluon distribution function G(x, Q^2) = xg(x, Q^2) in terms of the proton structure function F_2^{\gamma p} (x, Q^2) in leading-order (LO) QCD by solving the the LO DGLAP equation for the…
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.
Theoretical description of the spin dependent structure function g_1(x,Q^2) in the region of low values of x and Q^2 is presented. It contains the Vector Meson Dominance contribution and the QCD improved parton model suitably extended to…
We propose an approach to DGLAP evolution at small x that circumvents the usual problem that a perturbation expansion is not valid there. The data for the charm structure function are important to motivate the method, and it describes them…
Flavour singlet contributions to the nucleon spin are elusive due to the fact that they cannot be determined directly in experiment but require extrapolations to the small x region. Direct calculations of these contributions are possible…
I present a calculation of structure functions at leading order which includes an unambiguous inclusion of the leading ln(1/x) terms for each power of alpha_s, and also the correct effects due to the mass of the charm and bottom quarks. I…
We show that, provided that the non-perturbative input is regular at the right of the $\omega=0$ singularity of the dominant DGLAP anomalous dimension, the rise of $F_2$ at small $x,$ experimentally measured by the averaged observable…
We present the two-mass QCD contributions to the pure singlet operator matrix element at three loop order in x-space. These terms are relevant for calculating the structure function $F_2(x,Q^2)$ at $O(\alpha_s^3)$ as well as for the…
We examine the behaviour of the polarised structure function data for g_1(x) in the region of small x (~0.01 to 0.1) for the various available targets (proton, neutron and deuteron) with the aim of clarifying what may be safely deduced with…
The twist--2 heavy flavor contributions to the polarized structure function $g_2(x,Q^2)$ are calculated. We show that this part of $g_2(x,Q^2)$ is related to the heavy flavor contribution to $g_1(x,Q^2)$ by the Wandzura--Wilczek relation to…
We present description of the DIS structure functions F_1 and F_2 at small $x$ obtained in double-logarithmic approximation (DLA). First we clarify our previous results on F_1 and then obtain explicit expressions for F_2. Our calculations…
We present calculations of the structure functions F_2(x,Q^2) and F_L(x,Q^2), concentrating on small x. After discussing the standard expansion of the structure functions in powers of \alpha_s(Q^2) we consider a leading-order expansion in…
We have analytically solved the LO pQCD singlet DGLAP equations using Laplace transform techniques. Newly-developed highly accurate numerical inverse Laplace transform algorithms allow us to write fully decoupled solutions for the singlet…
We consider the region of small transverse momenta in the production of high-mass systems in hadronic collisions. By using the current knowledge on the infrared behaviour of tree-level and one-loop QCD amplitudes at O(alpha_s^2), we…

We investigate the power-suppressed corrections to fragmentation functions in flavour-singlet deep inelastic lepton scattering, to complement the previous results for the non-singlet contribution. Our method is a dispersive approach based…
We present a first study of gluonic twist-four corrections to the deep inelastic structure function F_2 at small x and small Q^2. The calculations are based upon the double logarithmic approximation of the coupled twist-four evolution…
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…
We propose a systematic approximation scheme for solving GLAP evolution equations at small Bjorken-$x$. The approximate solutions interpolate smoothly between hard (singular as $x^{-(1+\lambda)}$, $\lambda> 0$) and soft (singular at most as…
