چکیده
These lectures include an introduction to the partonic description of the proton, the photon and the ‘colour singlet’, as seen in inclusive and semi-inclusive DIS, in e+e− collisions, and in diffractive processes, respectively. Their formal treatment using structure, fragmentation, and fracture functions is outlined giving an insight into the perturbative QCD framework for these functions. Examples and comparisons with experimental data from LEP, HERA, and Tevatron are also covered.

v 1 4 D ec 1 99 5 Small x physics in deep inelastic lepton scattering
The perturbative QCD predictions concerning deep inelastic scattering at low x are summarized. The theoretical framework based on the leading log 1/x resumma-tion and k t factorization theorem is described. The role of studying final states in deep inelastic scattering for revealing the details of the underlying dynamics at low x is emphasised and some dedicated measurements, like deep inelasti...
متن کاملQcd Studies in Ep Collisions
These lectures describe QCD physics studies over the period 1992-1996 from data taken with collisions of 27 GeV electrons and positrons with 820 GeV protons at the HERA collider at DESY by the two generalpurpose detectors HI and ZEUS. The focus of these lectures is on structure functions and jet production in deep inelastic scattering, photoproduction, and diffraction. The topics covered start ...
متن کاملDIFFRACTION IN ep COLLISIONS
Recent measurements of the diffractive deep-inelastic cross section are used to extract diffrac-tive parton densities of the proton. These are subsequently applied in models to predict the production of jets and open charm in the final state. A rapidity gap suppression factor for dijet production in diffractive photoproduction relative to diffractive deep-inelastic scattering is obtained using ...
متن کاملA Different View of Deep Inelastic Electron-proton Scattering
Deep inelastic electron-proton scattering is analyzed in the target rest frame using a theoretical approach suitable to describe many-body systems of bound constituents subject to interactions. At large three-momentum transfer |q|, this approach predicts the onset of scaling in the variable ỹ = ν-|q|, where ν denotes the energy transfer. The present analysis shows that the data, plotted at cons...
متن کاملSaturation Effects in Deep Inelastic Scattering at low Q and its Implications on Diffraction
We present a model based on the concept of saturation for small Q and small x. With only three parameters we achieve a good description of all Deep Inelastic Scattering data below x = 0.01. This includes a consistent treatment of charm and a successful extrapolation into the photoproduction regime. The same model leads to a roughly constant ratio of diffractive and inclusive cross section. On l...
متن کاملDiffractive scattering
We discuss basic concepts and properties of diffractive phenomena in soft hadron collisions and in deep-inelastic scattering at low Bjorken-x. The paper is not a review of the rapidly developing field but presents an attempt to show in simple terms the close inter-relationship between the dynamics of high-energy hadronic and deep-inelastic diffraction. Using the saturation model of Golec-Bierna...
