Diffractive Deep-Inelastic Scattering

Diffractive deep inelastic events with a large rapidity gap are analyzed by using a Regge model for the pomeron flux and a gluonic content for the pomeron. Contrary to the expectations, the simplest assumption for the pomeron trajectory gives the best agreement with the data on the ratio of diffractive to the total number of events. In this case the main properties of the model are described by an analytic expression.Comment: 18 pages (postcript file

QED and Electroweak Corrections to Deep Inelastic Scattering

We describe the state of the art in the field of radiative corrections for deep inelastic scattering. Different methods of calculation of radiative corrections are reviewed. Some new results for QED radiative corrections for polarized deep inelastic scattering at HERA are presented. A comparison of results obtained by the codes POLRAD and HECTOR is given for the kinematic regime of the HERMES experiment. Recent results on radiative corrections to deep inelastic scattering with tagged photons are briefly discussed.Comment: 22 pages Latex, including 6 eps-figures; to appear in the Proceedings of the 3rd International Symposium on Radiative Corrections, Cracow, August 1-5, 1996, Acta Phys.

The QCD Analysis of the Structure Functions and Effective Nucleon Mass

On the basis of the target mass corrections to structure functions of deep-inelastic scattering of leptons, we evaluate effective nucleon mass that turns out to be twice $M_{nucl.}$ for deep-inelastic scattering on the nucleus target and equals $M_{nucl.}$ for the hydrogen target.Comment: LATEX, 6 pages, no figure

Study of D∗+/−D^{*+/-} Meson Production in Diffractive epep Scattering at HERA

$D^{*+/-}$ production in the diffractive interactions was measured with the ZEUS detector at HERA using integrated luminosities of 44 pb$^{-1}$ in deep inelastic scattering and 38 pb$^{-1}$ in photoproduction processes. Diffractive interactions were identified by a large gap in the rapidity distribution of final states. $D^{*+/-}$ mesons were reconstructed from the decay $D^{*+} -> D^0\pi_s^+$ with {$D^0 -> K^-\pi^+$} (+c.c.). Integrated and differential cross sections were compared to theoretical expectations.Comment: LaTeX2e, 2 pages, 8 Postscript figures.

Extraction of polarized parton densities from polarized DIS and SIDIS

We present results on the quark and gluon polarization in the nucleon obtained in a combined next to leading order analysis to the available inclusive and semi-inclusive polarized deep inelastic scattering data.Comment: Talk given at XIII International Workshop on Deep Inelastic Scattering, April,27 - May,1, 2005, Madison, Wisconsin, USA, 4 pages, 2 figure
