We combine the constraints on the pion quark structure available from perturbative QCD, nonperturbative QCD (nonlocal QCD sum rules and light cone sum rules) with the analysis of current data on F_{\pi\gamma\gamma^*}(Q^2), including recent…
Using 3.9 $pb^{-1}$ of data from ep $\ra$ eX interactions recorded using the ZEUS detector in 1997,the proton structure function, F$_2$, has been measured in the range 0.015 GeV$^2$ $<$ Q$^2 <$ 0.65 GeV$^2$ and $6 \times 10^{-7} < x < 1…
An extraction of the longitudinal proton structure function FL(x,Q2) from H1 data at low Q2 (about 1 GeV2) and low Bjorken x (about 0.00005) is reported. The analysis is based on the data collected in a dedicated low Q2 running period in…
While much attention has been focussed on the successes of perturbative QCD in describing the $Q^2$-dependence of deep-inelastic structure functions, the starting distributions themselves contain important, non-perturbative information on…
The generalized Baldin sum rule at finite four-momentum transfer Q^2 is evaluated utilizing a structure function parameterization fit to recent experimental data. The most recent measurements on F_1 from Hall C at Jlab, as well as the F_2…
We investigate the non-perturbative effect in the nucleon structure function and the Gottfried sum by using a non-perturbative quark propagator with lowest dimensional condensate contributions from the QCD vacuum. It is shown that the…
We consider the scattering of two color dipoles (e.g., heavy quarkonium states) at low energy - a QCD analog of Van der Waals interaction. Even though the couplings of the dipoles to the gluon field can be described in perturbation theory,…
While QCD can provide corrections to the parton distribution function, it cannot produce the distribution. Where is then the starting point for the proton structure function? The only known source is the quark-model wave function for 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 <…
I present some comments on the relationship between the small-$x$ behaviour of the parton (quark and gluon) densities and the scaling violation of the proton structure function $F_{2}(x,Q^{2})$.
Parton distribution and correlation functions describe the relation between a hadron and the quarks and gluons (or collectively, the partons) within it, and carry rich information on hadron's partonic structure that cannot be calculated by…
The pion structure function is investigated in a simple model, where pion and constituent quark fields are coupled through the simplest pseudoscalar coupling. The imaginary part of the forward gamma* pi-> gamma* pi scattering amplitude is…
We perform a perturbative QCD analysis of the gravitational form factors (GFFs) of nucleon at large momentum transfer. We derive the explicit factorization formula of the GFFs in terms of twist-3 and twist-4 light-cone distribution…
Low Q2 photon-proton cross sections are analysed using a simple, QCD-motivated parametrisation $\sigma_{\gamma^\star p}\propto 1/(Q^2+Q_0^2)$, which gives a good description of the data. The Q2 dependence of the gamma* p cross section is…
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…
Applications of perturbative QCD to deeply virtual Compton scattering and hard exclusive electroproduction processes require a generalization of usual parton distributions for the case when long-distance information is accumulated in…
Theoretical predictions of the proton--neutron mass difference and measurements of the proton's charge radius require inputs from the Compton amplitude subtraction function. Model-dependent and non-relativistic calculations of this…

A pion distribution amplitude, derived from nonlocal QCD sum rules, has been employed to calculate $F_{\gamma^*\gamma\to\pi}(Q^2)$ using light-cone sum rules, and $F_{\pi}(Q^2)$ in NLO QCD perturbation theory. Predictions are presented for…
