Unitarity Corrections to the Proton Structure Functions at the Dipole Picture
نویسندگان
چکیده
We study the dipole picture for the description of deep inelastic scattering, focusing on the structure functions which are driven directly by the gluon distribution. The current theoretical and phenomenological status are properly reviewed. One performs estimates using the effective dipole cross section given by the Glauber-Mueller approach in QCD, which encodes the corrections due to the unitarity effects associated with the saturation phenomenon. We also address issues about frame invariance of the calculations when analysing the observables.

The QCD dipole picture of small-x physics
The QCD dipole picture of BFKL dynamics provides an attractive theoretical approach to the study of the QCD (resummed) perturbative expansion of small-x physics and more generally to hard high-energy processes. We discuss applications to the phenomenology of proton structure functions in the HERA range and to the longstanding problem of unitarity corrections, and outline some specific predictio...
متن کامل2 Unitarity Corrections and Structure Functions ⋆
We have studied the color dipole picture for the description of the deep inelastic process, mainly the structure functions which are driven directly by the gluon distribution. Estimates for those functions are obtained using the Glauber-Mueller dipole cross section in QCD, encoding the corrections due to the unitarity effects which are associated with the saturation phenomenon. Frame invariance...
متن کامل0 Unitarity and the QCD - improved dipole picture
As a consequence of QCD factorization theorems, a wide variety of inclusive and exclusive cross sections may be formulated in terms of a universal colour dipole cross section at small x. It is well known that for small transverse size dipoles this cross section is related to the leading-log gluon density. Using the measured pion-proton cross section as a guide, we suggest a reasonable extrapola...

متن کاملTesting Saturation with Large-mass Diffraction in Dis
One of the most successful approaches to the understanding of hard diffraction in DIS is the QCD dipole picture which naturally describes both inclusive and diffractive events within the same theoretical framework1,2. It expresses the scattering of the photon through its fluctuation into a color singlet qq̄ pair (dipole) and the same dipole scattering amplitude enters in the formulation of the i...
