We discuss the renormalon-based approach to power corrections in non-singlet deep inelastic scattering structure functions and compare it with the general operator product expansion. The renormalon technique and its variations relate the…

We present an analysis of the role of the running coupling constant at the intersection of perturbative and nonperturbative QCD. Although the approaches that have been considered so far in these two regimes appear to be complementary to…
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…
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 $x$.…
Important corrections to BFKL evolution are obtained from non-leading contributions and from non-linear effects due to unitarisation or saturation. It has been difficult to estimate the relative importance of these effects, as NLO effects…
A unitarized BFKL equation incorporating shadowing and antishadowing corrections of the gluon recombination is proposed. This equation reduces to the Balitsky-Kovchegov evolution equation near the saturation limit. We find that the…
We present calculations of structure functions using a renormalization scheme consistent expansion which is leading order in both ln(1/x) and \alpha_s(Q^2). There is no factorization scheme dependence, and the ``physical anomalous…
We use the Bessel-inspired behavior of the structure function F2 at small x, obtained for a flat initial condition in the DGLAP evolution equations. We fix the scale of the coupling constant, which eliminates the singular part of anomalous…
We present a small x resummation for the GLAP anomalous dimension and its corresponding dual BFKL kernel, which includes all the available perturbative information and nonperturbative constraints. Specifically, it includes all the…
Starting from the dipole representation of small-$x$ evolution we implement the running of the coupling in a self-consistent way. This results in an evolution equation for the dipole density in Borel $(b)$ space. We show that the Borel…
We derive the solution of the NLO BFKL equation by constructing its eigenfunctions perturbatively, using an expansion around the LO BFKL (conformal) eigenfunctions. This method can be used to construct a solution of the BFKL equation with…
On the basis of previous work by Fadin, Lipatov, and collaborators, and of our group, we extract the "irreducible" part of the next-to-leading (NL) BFKL kernel, we compute its (IR finite) eigenvalue function, and we discuss its implications…
Deep inelastic scattering of leptons off nuclear targets is analized within the convolution model taking into account nucleon-nucleon correlations. We show that in the nuclear medium nucleons are distributed according to a function that…
