Assume that partons form incoherent beam. The parton density distributions are meant to be universal quantities.

QCD based fits can follow the data accurately, yield parton densities. BUT:• many free parameters (18-30) (only know how parton densities evolve)
• form of parameterisation fixed by hand (not given by theory)
F2 parton densities. * ‘sees’ partons. parton density increases with decreasing x.

From Pumplin, DIS05
There are signs that DGLAP (Q2
evolution) may be in trouble at small x (negative gluons, high 2 for fits).
Need better data to test whether our parton densities are reasonable. The structure function FL will provide an important test.
all is not well …
Can also get information on gluon density from exclusive hard processes.

Comparison to theory
• All theories use dipole picture
• Use QED for photon wave function
• Use models for VM wave function – usually take a Gaussian shape
• Use gluon density in the proton
• Some use saturation model, others take sum of nonperturbative + pQCD calculation, and some just start at higher Q2
• Most work in configuration space, MRT works in momentum space. Configuration space – puts emphasis on VM wave function. Momentum space – on the gluon distribution.
• W dependence – information on the gluon
• Q2 and R – properties of the wave function
Nov 13, 2007 Aharon Levy - Oxford seminar 36
ρ0 data - Comparison to theory
• Martin-Ryskin-Teubner (MRT) – work in momentum space, use parton-hadron duality, put emphasis on gluon density determination. Phys. Rev. D 62, 014022 (2000).
• Forshaw-Sandapen-Shaw (FSS) – improved understanding of VM wf. Try Gaussian and DGKP (2-dim Gaussian with light-cone variables). Phys. Rev. D 69, 094013 (2004).
• Kowalski-Motyka-Watt (KMW) – add impact parameter dependence, Q2 evolution – DGLAP. Phys. Rev. D 74, 074016 (2006).
• Dosch-Ferreira (DF) – focusing on the dipole cross section using Wilson loops. Use soft+hard Pomeron for an effective evolution. Eur. Phys. J. C 51, 83 (2007).

Summary and conclusions• HERA data shows transition from soft to hard interactions.• The cross section is rising with W and its logarithmic derivative
in W, , increases with Q2.• The exponential slope of the t distribution decreases with Q2 and
levels off at about b = 5 GeV-2. Transverse size of gluon density (0.6 fm) inside the charge radius of the proton (0.8 fm).
• The ratio of cross sections induced by longitudinally and transversely polarised virtual photons increases with Q2, but is independent of W and t. The large configurations of the transversely polarised photon are suppressed.
• The effective Pomeron trajectory has a larger intercept and smaller slope than those extracted from soft interactions.
• All these features are compatible with expectations of perturbative QCD.
• None of the models which have been compared to the measurements are able to reproduce all the features of the data.
• Precision measurements of exclusive vector meson electroproduction can help determine the gluon density in the proton.
