We propose a modified Balitsky-Fadin-Kuraev-Lipatov equation from the viewpoint of the resummation technique, which contains an intrinsic dependence on momentum transfer Q, and satisfies the unitarity bound. The idea is to relax the strong…
We study the nuclear structure function $F_2^A$ and its logarithmic derivative in the high energy limit (small $x$ region) using the Color Glass Condensate formalism. In this limit the structure function $F_2$ depends on the quark…
We study the interface between Regge behavior and DGLAP evolution in a non-perturbative model for the nucleon structure function based on a multipole pomeron exchange. This model provides the input for a subsequent DGLAP evolution that we…

The BFKL and the unified angular-ordered equations are solved to determine the gluon distribution at small $x$. The impact of kinematic constraints is investigated. Predictions are made for observables sensitive to the gluon at small $x$.…
Recent data on the structure function F_2(x,Q^2) at small values of x are analysed and compared with theoretical expectations. It is shown that the observed rise at small x is consistent with a logarithmic increase, growing logarithmically…
The small-x behavior of the singlet contributions to the polarized structure function g_2(x,Q^2) is calculated in the double-logarithmic approximation of perturbative QCD. The dominant contribution is due to the gluons which, in contrast to…
The dependence of the diffractive nuclear shadowing and the nuclear pion excess effect on the deuteron spin alignment leads to a substantial tensor polarisation of sea partons in the deuteron. The corresponding tensor structure function…
We present parametrizations for the proton structure function $F_2$ in the next to leading order in perturbative QCD. The calculations show that the dominant term to $F_2(x,Q^2)$ should grow as $x^{-\ls}$ for small $x$ values, with the…
We observe that the DGLAP evolution equations at NNLO analysis predicts a ratio of the structure functions in region of small Bjorken variable $x$. The ratio $F_{L}(x,Q^{2})/F_{2}(x,Q^{2})$ is obtained and compared with the prediction of…
We present a detailed description of the Q^2 and x dependence of the structure functions F2 and FL as extracted from the Deep Inelastic Scattering data at HERA in the small Bjorken x region. Making use of a collinearly-improved BFKL…
In the semiclassical approach, inclusive and diffractive quark and gluon distributions are expressed in terms of correlation functions of Wilson loops. Each Wilson loop integrates the colour field strength in the area between the…
Nuclear structure functions at small x and small or moderate $Q^2$ are studied using the relation with diffraction on nucleons which arises from Gribov's Reggeon Calculus. A reasonable description of experimental data is obtained with no…
We study the evolution of the small $x$ gluon transverse momentum dependent(TMD) distribution in the dilute limit. The calculation has been carried out in the Ji-Ma-Yuan scheme using a simple quark target model. As expected, we find that…

The longitudinal structure function for nucleons and nuclei is considered at fixed $\sqrt{s}$ and $Q^2$ to the minimum value of $x$ given by $Q^2/s$. This is done using the expansion method and color dipole model in the next-to-leading…
We consider soft-gluon evolution at the amplitude level. Our evolution includes Coulomb exchanges and applies to generic hard-scattering processes involving any number of coloured partons. We emphasise the special role played by a…
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-$k_T$…
Nuclear structure functions and cross-sections for heavy flavour production in lepton-nucleus collisions are investigated in the low $x$ region accessible now or in the near future. The scattering on a heavy nucleus is described by the sum…
The resummation of $O(\alpha_s^{l+1} \ln^{2l} x)$ terms in the evolution equation of the singlet part of $g_1(x,Q^2)$ is carried out. The corresponding singlet evolution kernels are calculated explicitely. The leading small-$x$ contribution…
