Scaling in inelastic electron-photon scattering

Photon Polarisation in Diffractive Deep Inelastic Scattering

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 structure function. We investigate the potential of such bounds in general and for particular diffractive final states.

Confinement and scaling in deep inelastic scattering.

We show that parton confinement in the final state generates large 1/Q2 corrections to Bjorken scaling, thus leaving less room for the logarithmic corrections. In particular, the x-scaling violations at large x are entirely described in terms of power corrections. For treatment of these non-perturbative effects, we derive a new expansion in powers of 1/Q2 for the structure function that is free...

Scaling and Diffraction in Deep Inelastic Scattering

We pursue the hypothesis that the events with a large rapidity gap, observed at HERA, reflect the scattering of electrons off lumps of wee partons inside the proton. A simple scaling behaviour is predicted for the diffractive structure functions, which are related to the inclusive structure function F2(x,Q ) at small values of the scaling variable x. The results are compared with recent measure...
