The proton's gluon distribution

Abstract

The gluon distribution is dominated by the hard pomeron at small x and all Q2, with no soft-pomeron contribution. This describes well not only the DGLAP evolution of the hard-pomeron part of F2(x,Q2), but also charm photoproduction and electroproduction, and the longitudinal structure function, all calculated in leading-order pQCD.
