We discuss bounds on the distribution and fragmentation functions that appear at leading order in deep inelastic 1-particle inclusive leptoproduction or in Drell-Yan processes. These bounds simply follow from positivity of the quark-hadron…
We discuss deep inelastic scattering at low $x$ as a critical phenomenon in 2+1 space-time dimensions. QCD (SU2) near the light cone becomes a critical theory in the limit of $\lim x \to 0$ with a correlation mass $m(x) \propto x^{\nu/2}$.…
A computer study is performed to estimate the influence of the small-$k_T$ region in the BFKL evolution equation. We consider the small-x region of the deep inelastic structure function $F_2$ and show that the magnitude of the small-$k_T$…
I examine the solution of the BFKL equation with NLO corrections relevant for deep inelastic scattering. Particular emphasis is placed on the part played by the running of the coupling. It is shown that the solution factorizes into a part…
Modified quark fragmentation functions in deeply inelastic $eA$ collisions and their QCD evolution equations are derived for the first time in the framework of multiple parton scattering. Induced radiation gives rise to additional terms in…
We discuss the phenomenological extraction of the leading $ j$-plane singularity from singlet structure functions $ F_s $ measured at small $ x. $ Using a saddle-point method we show that $ {\rm d ln} F_s /{\rm d ln}{1 \over x} $ is a…
Hard scattering processes involving hadrons at small $x$ are described by a $k_T$-factorization formula driven by a BFKL gluon. We explore the equivalence of this description to a collinear-factorization approach in which the anomalous…
We propose a phenomenological study of the Balitsky-Fadin-Kuraev-Lipatov (BFKL) approach applied to the data on the proton structure function F_2 measured at HERA in the small-x_{Bjorken} region. In a first part we use a simplified…
This talk summarises our work on the calculation of small-$x$ jet rates within the BFKL and CCFM approaches. The two approaches are proven to yield the same results at the leading logarithm level to order ${\bar \alpha}_{S}^{3}$. The proof…
We study the scaling properties in deep inelastic scattering using the most recent combined structure function data $F_2$ from the H1 and ZEUS collaborations. We also perform a direct fit to the $F_2$ data inspired by the scaling…

In the framework of Anisotropic Chromo Dynamics, a non-perturbative model of QCD based on magnetic condensation in the vacuum, we develope a picture of the Pomeron. Within this model we are able to calculate the diffractive contribution to…
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 order…
A semiclassical description of structure functions in DIS at small $x$ is presented. It gives an intuitive picture of the transition from the Double Leading Log approximation at large $Q^2$, to the powerlike dependence on $x$ in the BFKL…
The Balitskii-Fadin-Kuraev-Lipatov (BFKL) and the Gribov-Lipatov- Dokshitzer-Altarelli-Parisi (GLDAP) evolution equations for the diffractive deep inelastic scattering at ${1\over x} \gg 1$ are shown to have a common solution in the weak…

We fit the reduced cross section for deep-inelastic electron scattering data to a three parameter ln^2 s fit, A + beta ln^2 (s/s_0), where s= [Q^2/x] (1-x) + m^2, and Q^2 is the virtuality of the exchanged photon. Over a wide range in Q^2…
High-energy factorization in QCD is investigated beyond leading order and its relationship to the factorization theorem of mass singularities is established to any collinear accuracy. Flavour non-singlet observables are shown to be regular…
