We examine the effect of using an angular ordered evolution equation for the unintegrated gluon distribution at small x.
The gluon contributions to $F_L(x,Q^2)$ in ${\cal O}(\alpha_s)$ are calculated taking into account the transverse momentum of the initial state parton. In comparison with collinear factorization $F_L(x,Q^2)$, is not affected at large $x$…
We present a set of formulae to extract the gluon distribution function from the deep inelastic structure function F$_2$ and its derivative dF$_2$/dlnQ$^2$ at small x in the leading and next-to-leading order of perturbation theory. The…
A survey is given of recent developments on the resummed small-$x$ evolution, in a framework based on the renormalization group equation, of non--singlet and singlet structure functions in both unpolarized and polarized deep--inelastic…
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…
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…
We review recent developments in the determination of parton densities from deep inelastic and related data. We show how the asymmetries observed in the W+- rapidity distributions and in pp/pn Drell-Yan production further constrain the…
Theoretical expectations concerning small $x$ behaviour of the spin dependent structure function $g_1$ are summarised. This includes discussion of the Regge pole model predictions and of the double $ln^2(1/x)$ effects implied by…
The numerical effects of the known all-order leading and next-to-leading logarithmic small-$x$ contributions to the anomalous dimensions and coefficient functions of the unpolarized singlet evolution are discussed for the structure…
We perform the fit to the structure function $F_2$ data from HERA including terms due to the resummation at small $x$. The equation for the unintegrated gluon density is solved, previously established within the renormalization group…
The resummation of $O(\alpha_s^{l+1} \ln^{2l} x)$ terms in the evolution kernels of non--singlet combinations of unpolarized and polarized structure functions is investigated. The agreement with complete calculations up to order…
We study the splitting functions for the evolution of fragmentation distributions and the coefficient functions for single-hadron production in semi-inclusive electron-positron annihilation in massless perturbative QCD for small values of…
We search for deviations from next-to-leading order QCD evolution in HERA structure function data. We compare to data predictions for structure functions in the small x region, obtained by evolving backwards to low Q^2 the results of a…
We show how perturbation theory may be reorganized to give splitting functions which include order by order convergent sums of all leading logarithms of $x$. This gives a leading twist evolution equation for parton distributions which sums…
The longitudinal structure function in deep inelastic scattering is one of the observables from which the gluon distribution can be unfolded. Consequently, this observable can be used to constrain the QCD dynamics at small $x$. In this work…
A systematic study is performed of the impact of the various resummed small-$x$ contributions to the anomalous dimensions and coefficient functions on the evolution of unpolarized structure functions in deep-inelastic scattering. The proton…
We compute the distribution functions for gluons at very small x and not too large values of transverse momenta. We extend the McLerran-Venugopalan model by using renormalization group methods to integrate out effects due to those gluons…
We show that the diffractive structure function is perturbatively calculable in the domain where the diffractive mass is small but still outside the resonance region. In this domain, which can be characterized by Lambda^2/Q^2 << 1-beta <<…
We examine critically the evidence for deviations from next-to-leading order perturbative DGLAP evolution in HERA data. We briefly review the status of perturbative small-x resummation and of global determinations of parton distributions.…
We present a method for the analytic solution of small $x$ structure functions. The essential small $x$ logarithms are summed to all orders in the anomalous dimensions and coefficient functions. Although we work at leading logarithmic…
