Summary of Working Group I: Hadron Structure

Abstract

A summary is given on the main aspects which were discussed by the working group. They include new results on the deep inelastic scattering structure functions $F_2, xF_3, F_L$ and $F_2^{c\bar{c}}$ and their parametrizations, the measurement of the gluon density, recent theoretical work on the small $x$ behavior of structure functions, theoretical and experimental results on $\alpha_s$, the direct photon cross section, and a discussion of the event rates in the high $p_T$ range at Tevatron and the high $Q^2$ range at HERA, as well as possible interpretations.Comment: 22 pages latex, including 8 figures (ps,eps), to appear in the Proceedings of the International Conference on Deep Inelastic Scattering, Chicago, April 1997, AI
