We discuss how the proton structure function F2 is described in the HERA kinematic range by double asymptotic expressions for low x and large Q^2. From a NLO double asymptotic approximation of recent data from the H1 experiment at HERA we…

We reconsider the prompt photon photoproduction at HERA in the framework of the $k_T$-factorization QCD approach. The proposed method is based on the ${\cal O}(\alpha^2\alpha_s)$ amplitudes for $\gamma q\to\gamma gq$ and $\gamma…

The proton structure function F_2(x,Q^2) is measured in inelastic QED Compton scattering using data collected with the H1 detector at HERA. QED Compton events are used to access the kinematic range of very low virtualities of the exchanged…
We argue that the use of the universal unintegrated gluon distribution and the $k_T$ (or high energy) factorization theorem provides the natural framework for describing observables at small x. We introduce a coupled pair of evolution…
Preliminary results on a measurement of the proton structure function F_2 are reported for momentum transfers squared Q^2 between 1.5~GeV^2 and 5000 GeV^2 and for Bjorken x between 5.10^{-5} and 0.32 using data collected by the HERA…
The recent $F_2$ data can be described using the DGLAP evolution equations with an appropriate choice of input distributions and the choice of the starting scale for the $Q^2$ evolution. We demonstrate in this paper that we cannot conclude…
We calculate the rate for the deep-inelastic electroproduction of dijets at HERA. We study the weakening of the azimuthal (back-to-back) correlation between the jets, as $x$ decreases, to see whether it can be used to identify BFKL dynamics…
We constrain proton structure fluctuations at small-$x$ by comparing with the HERA diffractive vector meson production data, and find that large geometric fluctuations in the proton wave function are needed. Hydrodynamical simulations of…
