Predicting F2D(3) from the dipole cross-section
We employ a parameterisation of the proton dipole cross section previously
extracted from electroproduction and photoproduction data to predict the
diffractive structure function F2D(3)(Q^2, beta, xpom). Comparison with HERA H1
data yields good agreement.Comment: 5 pages,4 figures, Latex2e, uses espcrc1.sty. Presented at "Hadron

Unitarity Corrections to the Proton Structure Functions through the Dipole Picture
We study the dipole picture for the description of the deep inelastic
scattering, focusing on the structure functions which are driven directly by
the gluon distribution. 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.Comment: 16 pages, 8 figures. Version to be published in Phys. Rev.
