We review the basic aspects of the perturbative QCD based on the operator product expansion to analyze the nucleon structure functions in a pedagogical way. We explain the non-trivial relation between the QCD results and the parton model…

In this article, recent measurements of diffraction in deep inelastic scattering are presented along with QCD fits to extract the partonic structure of the exchange. These so-called diffractive parton density functions can then be used in…

The distribution of a suitably defined azimuthal angle in diffractive deep inelastic scattering contains information on the polarisation of the exchanged photon. In particular it allows one to constrain the longitudinal diffractive…

New polarized fragmentation functions are introduced and justified, in addition to those conventional ones assumed to be independent of the helicity of the parent parton. It is demonstrated that due to our present ignorance concerning these…
We discuss the perturbative QCD description of diffractive deep-inelastic scattering, and extract diffractive parton distributions from recent HERA data. The asymptotic collinear factorisation theorem has important modifications in the…

The present talk summarises the 1993 situation in understanding the spin structure of the nucleon via electron and muon polarised deep--inelastic scattering (PDIS). The central question I shall address here is if the data can be interpreted…
Principal contributions to QED radiative effects for Moller scattering of polarized particles are investigated both on the Born level and taking into account radiative corrections (RC). Scattering on the case of longitudinal and transversal…
