The QCD structure of the electroweak bosons is reviewed and the lepton structure function is defined and calculated. The leading order splitting functions of electron into quarks are extracted, showing an important contribution from…
The QCD structure of the electron is defined and calculated. The leading order splitting functions are extracted, showing an important contribution from $\gamma$-$Z$ interference. Leading logarithmic QCD evolution equations are constructed…
The parton content of the electron is analyzed within perturbative QCD. It is shown that electron acquires an anomalous component from QCD, analogously to photon. The evolution equations for the `exclusive' and `inclusive' electron…
By working in QED, we obtain the electron, positron, and photon Parton Distribution Functions (PDFs) of the unpolarised electron at the next-to-leading logarithmic accuracy. The PDFs account for all of the universal effects of initial-state…
I quickly review the successes of quantum chromodynamics. Then I assess the current state of the electroweak theory, making brief comments about the search for the Higgs boson and some of the open issues for the theory. I sketch the…
The electron structure functions are studied in polarized $e^+e^-$ scattering. The formulae for longitudinally and transversely polarized electrons are presented. The smallnes of the electron mass leads to negligible cross-sections and…
The electron and photon structure functions are compared. Advantages of the electron structure function are demonstrated. At very high momenta probabilistic (partonic) interpretation can be preserved despite strong $\gamma$-$Z$…
Advantages of introducing the electron structure function (ESF) in electron induced processes are demonstrated. Contrary to the photon structure function it is directly measured in such processes. At present energies a simultaneous analysis…
The shape of the electron is studied using lowest-order perturbation theory. Quantities used to probe the structure of the proton: form factors, generalized parton distributions, transverse densities, Wigner distributions and the angular…
The QCD treatment of the photon structure is recalled. Emphasis is given to the recently derived momentum sum rule, and to the proper choice of the factorization scheme and/or boundary conditions for the evolution equations beyond the…
Advantages of introducing the electron structure function in electron induced processes are demonstrated. At present energies the same experiment gives more precise description of the electron than photon structure. The momentum scales…
Electromagnetic structure functions for electron-proton scattering are used as a test of the QCD improved parton model at low and moderate Q. Two parameterizations which work well in ep scattering at low Q are used to evaluate the inelastic…
A concise introduction is given to the standard model, including the structure of the QCD and electroweak Lagrangians, spontaneous symmetry breaking, experimental tests, and problems.
Hadron structure calculations using lattice Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) have advanced significantly in recent years. Results for charges, form factors, and lower Mellin moments can be obtained to high precision, generalized parton…
The QCD treatment of the photon structure beyond the leading order is discussed with emphasis on a proper choice of the factorization scheme and/or the boundary conditions. Recent parametrizations of the photon's parton content are examined…
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…
We consider electroweak radiative corrections to hard inclusive processes at the TeV scale, and we investigate how collinear logarithms factorize in a spontaneously broken gauge theory, similarly to the DGLAP analysis in QCD. Due to the…
The electron structure function method is applied to calculate model-independent radiative corrections to an asymmetry of electron-proton scattering. The representations for both spin-independent and spin-dependent parts of the…
Within the framework of the Standard Model, the scale of electroweak symmetry breaking is unstable to radiative corrections. We discuss two broad classes of models of new physics (one with a strongly interacting and the other with a…
We compute the leading-order evolution of parton fragmentation functions for all the Standard Model fermions and bosons up to energies far above the electroweak scale, where electroweak symmetry is restored. We discuss the difference…
