The alternative approach to QCD analysis of the photon structure function $F_2^{\gamma}$ is presented. It differs from the conventional one by the presence of the terms which in conventional approach appear in higher orders. We show that…
We clarify conflicting results in the literature on coefficient functions in front of higher twist operators contributing to the parton sum rules for deep inelastic scattering from polarized targets. The necessary corrections do not affect…
Nucleon structure functions, as measured in lepton-nucleon scattering, have historically provided a critical observable in the study of partonic dynamics within the nucleon. However, at very large parton momenta it is both experimentally…
We study the sensitivity of the dilepton production cross section to higher twist terms. A method for calculating the resummed cross section is introduced in moment space, where the leading higher twist terms can be easily parametrized and…
A genuinely non-perturbative evaluation of higher-twist contributions to the structure functions of the nucleon, with all mixing effects and renormalon ambiguities taken care of, is presented. Higher-twist corrections turn out to be…
We present non-linear corrections (NLC) to the distribution functions at low values of $x$ and $Q^{2}$ using the parametrization $F_{2}(x,Q^{2})$ and $F_{L}(x,Q^{2})$. We use a direct method to extract non-linear corrections to the ratio of…

I review quark momentum distributions in the nucleon at large momentum fractions x. Particular attention is paid to the impact of nuclear effects in deuterium on the d/u quark distribution ratio as x -> 1. A new global study of parton…
We summarize recent developments in the understanding of nucleon structure. New data on F2, R and F2c, over a wide range of Q2 and x, are described. Conventional leading twist NLO perturbative QCD gives an excellent account of all the new…
We calculate quantum corrections to the mass of noncommutative phi^4 kink in (1+1) dimensions for intermediate and large values of the noncommutativity parameter theta. All one-loop divergences are removed by a mass renormalization (which…
Recent experimental and theoretical ideas are laying the ground for a new era in the knowledge of the parton structure of nuclei. We report on two promising directions beyond inclusive deep inelastic scattering experiments, aimed at, among…
Quark mass corrections to the spin partonic structure function g_1(x,Q^2) and function F_3(x,Q^2) are obtained at the order O(alpha_s) along with the coefficient functions C^{(A)} and C^{(V)} related to the Bjorken and…
Recent measurements of unpolarised and polarised nucleon structure functions and F_2(gamma) are reviewed. The implications for QCD and the gluon momentum distribution are discussed. The status of the understanding of the total…
The effects of the finite top quark width in the top pair production cross section close to the threshold are discussed in this talk. We introduce a $t\bar{t}$ cross section with a cut on the invariant masses of the top and antitop that can…
A systematic study of $\frac{\partial F_2(x,Q^2)}{\partial \ln Q^2}$ and $\frac{\partial \ln F_2(x,Q^2)}{\partial \ln (1/x)}$ is carried out in pQCD taking screening corrections into account. The result of calculations, which are different…
Recent work unambiguously resolves the level of charge symmetry violation in moments of parton distributions using 2+1-flavor lattice QCD. We introduce the methods used for that analysis by applying them to determine the strong contribution…
We report current status of global analyses on nuclear parton distribution functions (NPDFs). The optimum NPDFs are determined by analyzing high-energy nuclear reaction data. Due to limited experimental measurements, antiquark modifications…
We summarize recent works on the question of the nucleon mass decomposition and the 2D relativistic distribution of pressure forces on the light front. All these mechanical properties are encoded in the energy-momentum tensor of the system…
