The high production rate and $\langle x_{F} \rangle > 0.33$ of the doubly charmed baryons measured by the SELEX experiment is not amenable to perturbative QCD analysis. In this paper we calculate the production of the doubly heavy baryons…
We calculate the structure function $F_3(x,q^2)$ of the hadronic tensor of deep inelastic scattering (DIS) of charged leptons from glueballs of ${\cal {N}}=4$ SYM theory at strong coupling and at small values of the Bjorken parameter in the…
We implement a finite energy constraint in the dipole picture of deep inelastic scattering by restricting the invariant mass of the produced partonic system by the virtual photon-target center of mass energy. We show that, for…
The evolution equation for high twist operators is solved in the Double Logarithmic Approximation for cylinder-type diagrams which dominate in the limit of large number of colors. The asymptotic behaviour of the parton correlation function…
We present the second order contributions to the coefficient functions for the parity violating polarized structure functions $g_L$ and $g_4$, thus completing the $\mathcal{O}(\alpha_S^2)$ knowledge on DIS structure functions. We obtain the…
We review several recent developments in the theory and phenomenology of deep-inelastic scattering, with particular emphasis on precision tests of QCD and progress in the detailed perturbative treatment of structure functions and parton…
Deep-inelastic production of heavy quarks at HERA, especially charm, is an excellent signal to measure the gluon distribution in the proton at small $x$ values. By measuring various differential distributions of the heavy quarks this…
The cross section for semi-inclusive deep inelastic scattering can be decomposed in terms of 18 structure functions. At low transverse momentum of the detected hadron, the structure functions can be expressed in terms of…
Using renormalization group techniques we have derived analytic formulae for the next-to-leading order heavy-quark coefficient functions in deep inelastic lepton hadron scattering. These formulae are only valid in the kinematic regime Q^2…
We define a new variable flavour number scheme for use in deep inelastic scattering, motivated by the need to consistently implement high energy resummations alongside a fixed order QCD expansion. We define the DIS(chi) scheme at fixed…
The production of D*+-(2010) mesons in deep inelastic scattering has been measured in the ZEUS detector at HERA using an integrated luminosity of 37 pb^-1. The decay channels D*+ -> D0 pi+(+c.c.), with D0 -> K- pi+ or D0 ->K- pi- pi+ pi+,…
We study the $J/\psi$ photoproduction $\gamma p\to J/\psi p$ near threshold to investigate the role played by the open charm channels and possible signals from the hidden charm $P_c$ pentaquark states. With the diffractive mechanism…
This is a review of the existing ideas in modelling the transition from the photoproduction ($Q^2 = 0$) to the deep inelastic scattering region. The available data of the proton structure function are analyzed from the point of view of the…
We study quantitatively the importance of the recently derived NLO corrections to the DIS structure functions at small x in the dipole formalism. We show that these corrections can be significant and depend on the factorization scheme used…
We perform a calculation on the polarization of J/psi production in deep inelastic scattering in the HERA energy range. For the inclusive production distributions, we find that the color-singlet contributions are consistent with the…

Production of final states containing open charm and beauty quarks at HERA is reviewed. Photoproduction (PHP) of the charm meson resonances D^*, D^0 and D_s, as well as D^* production in the deep inelastic scattering (DIS) regime, are…
We use duality to relate resonances in missing mass $M$ to the large-mass diffraction dissociation of protons. In deep inelastic lepton-hadron scattering (DIS), hadronic resonances are related by duality in $Q^2$ to the low-$x$, smooth…
