We calculate the structure functions for unpolarized deep inelastic scattering of baryons using an AdS/QCD soft wall model that considers a dressed mass for the bulk fermionic fields. Considering the regime of large Bjorken parameter x, we…
Recent data on diffractive photoproduction of dijets are analyzed within the framework of fracture functions and paying special attention to the consequences of the use of different rapidity gap definitions in order to identify diffractive…
I review the basics of the collinear factorization theorem applied primarily to deep inelastic scattering (DIS) involving forward parton distributions (PDFs) and the extensions of this theorem for exclusive processes probing non-forward…
The photon structure function is a useful testing ground for QCD. It is perturbatively computable apart from a contribution from what is usually called the hadronic component of the photon. There have been many proposals for this…
The QCD treatment of the parton structure of virtual photons is briefly recalled, and possible limitations and open questions are pointed out. Various models for these densities are compared, completed by a short discussion of the treatment…
$1/N^2$ corrections to deep inelastic scattering (DIS) of charged leptons from glueballs at strong coupling are investigated in the framework of the gauge/gravity duality. The structure functions $F_1$ and $F_2$ (and also $F_L$) are studied…
We present a fully analytic computation of the complete electron and photon structure functions, or QED lepton parton distribution functions (PDFs) up to two-loop order. Our computation is performed using modern techniques of reduction to…
Recent results on prompt photon production in photoproduction, deeply inelastic scattering and hadronic collisions are reviewed and the importance of photons for LHC experiments is briefly discussed.
Rescattering of the struck quark in Deep Inelastic Scattering implies that measured parton distributions are not directly related to the Fock state probabilities of the target wave function. The production amplitudes acquire dynamical…
$Q^2$ evolution of structure functions in the nucleon and nuclei is investigated by using usual DGLAP equations and parton-recombination equations. Calculated results for proton's $F_2$ and for the ratio $F_2^{Ca}/F_2^D$ are compared with…
The production of final state photons in deep inelastic scattering originates from photon radiation off leptons or quarks involved in the scattering process. Photon radiation off quarks involves a contribution from the quark-to-photon…
The factorization of the amplitude for the deeply virtual Compton scattering (DVCS) process gamma*(Q) gamma -> gamma gamma at high Q2 is demonstrated in two distinct kinematical domains, allowing to define the photon generalized parton…
This brief review of hard diffraction is focussed on the theory of the diffractive structure function F_2^D. Some aspects of diffractive vector meson production and of diffractive processes in hadron-hadron collisions are also discussed.
At HERA, the electron-proton collider at DESY, Hamburg, the large flux of almost on-shell photons accompanying the lepton beam is being used to shed new light on the structure of the photon. Recent results are reviewed and discussed, with…
We review the latest information that is available about the parton distributions of the proton, paying particular attention to the determination of the gluon. We briefly describe the various processes that have been advocated to be a…
In the present paper we address double parton scattering (DPS) in quasi-real photon-proton interactions. By using electromagnetic and hadronic models of the photon light cone wave functions, we compute the so-called effective cross-section,…
The quark-gluon properties of the nucleon are probed by a host of recent and planned experiments. These involve elastic, deep-inelastic, semi-inclusive deep-inelastic (SIDIS), and deeply-virtual Compton scattering. A light-front description…
We present a systematic analysis of the processes $e^+ ~e^- \rightarrow e^+ ~e^- X$ to study the polarised and unpolarised photon structure functions. The effect of target photon mass, which manifests itself as new singly polarised…
First attempts are described to determine the unintegrated Parton Density Function of the gluon from a fit to measurements of the structure function $F_2(x,Q^2)$ and also $F_2^c(x,Q^2)$ measured at HERA. Reasonable descriptions of both…
It is shown that recent small-x measurements of the photon structure function F_2^{\gamma}(x,Q^2) by the LEP-OPAL collaboration are consistent with parameter-free QCD predictions at all presently accessible values of Q^2.
