Currently, the gluon distribution function is mainly constrained by jet data. Yet, its high-x behaviour is largely unknown. This kinematic region is important, for instance, for the understanding of the production of a massive state at…
The running BFKL equation gives rise to a series of moving poles in the complex $j$-plane. The first nodes for all subleading solutions (color dipole cross sections) accumulate at $r_1\sim 0.1 fm$.Therefore the processes dominated by the…
It is shown that the CKMT model for the nucleon structure function F2, taken as the initial condition for the NLO evolution equations in perturbative QCD, provides a good description of the HERA data when presented in the form of the…
The effects of the first nonlinear corrections to the DGLAP evolution equations are studied by using the recent HERA data for the structure function $F_2(x,Q^2)$ of the free proton and the parton distributions from CTEQ5L and CTEQ6L as a…
We introduce a coupled pair of evolution equations for the unintegrated gluon distribution and the sea quark distribution which incorporate both the resummed leading $\ln (1/x)$ BFKL contributions and the resummed leading $\ln (Q^2)$ DGLAP…
We show that recent data from HERA on the proton structure function $F_2$ at small $x$ and large $Q^2$ provide a direct confirmation of the double asymptotic scaling prediction of perturbative QCD. A linear rise of $\ln F_2$ with the…
We investigate the relationship of ``physical'' parton densities defined by kt-factorisation, to those in the minimal subtraction scheme, by comparing their small-x behaviour. We first summarize recent results on the above scheme change…
It is shown that in the leading twist approximation of the Wilson operator product expansion with "frozen" and analytic strong coupling constants, considering the Bessel-inspired behavior of the structure functions F2 and the derivative d…
Deep inelastic structure functions $F_2^A(x)$ are investigated in a $Q^2$ rescaling model with parton recombination effects. We find that the model can explain experimentally measured $F_2^A(x)$ structure functions reasonably well in 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…
We investigate the effect of the structure function F_L in global parton analyses of deep inelastic and related hard scattering data. We perform NLO and NNLO analyses which include the reduced cross section HERA data at high y, as well as…
We present a global fit to HERA data on the reduced cross section measured in electron-proton collisions in the region of small Bjorken-$x$: $x\le x_0=10^{-2}$ and moderate to high values of the virtuality $Q^2<Q^2_{max}=650$ GeV$^2$. The…
It is shown that the previously noted extreme perturbative instability of the longitudinal structure function F_L(x,Q^2) in the small Bjorken-$x$ region, is a mere artefact of the commonly utilized `standard' gluon distributions. In…
We report a semi-analytical approach for the solution of the nonlinear Gribov-Levin-Ryskin-Mueller-Qiu (GLR-MQ) evolution equation for sea quark distribution and investigate the effect of gluon shadowing on the small-x and moderate-Q^2…
We discuss DGLAP and BFKL evolution equations in the N=4 supersymmetric gauge theory in the leading and next-to-leading approximations. Eigenvalues of the BFKL kernel in this model turn out to be analytic functions of the conformal spin. It…
We show how perturbation theory may be reorganized to give splitting functions which include order by order convergent sums of all leading logarithms of $x$. This gives a leading twist evolution equation for parton distributions which sums…
I discuss radiative corrections to the BFKL equation for high energy cross sections in perturbative QCD. Due to the gluon Reggeization in the next-to-leading $\ln s$ approximation, the form of the BFKL equation remains unchanged and the…
We give predictions for the ratio RQ(x,Q2)=FLQ(x,Q2)/F2Q(x,Q2) at small values of Bjorken variable x in the first three orders of perturbation theory. We show an approximate x-independence of RQ(x,Q2) at low x and non-large Q2 values (Q2 <…
We discuss the quantitative consequences of the resummation of the small-x contributions to the anomalous dimensions beyond next-to-leading order in alpha_s and up to next order in ln(1/x) (NLx) in a framework based on the renormalization…
It has been found that recent results on forward jet production from deep inelastic scattering can neither be reproduced by models which are based on leading order $\alpha_s$ QCD matrix elements and parton showers nor by next-to-leading…
