The Partonic Structure of the Proton

Abstract

We review the latest information that is available about the parton distributions of the proton, paying particular attention to the determination of the gluon. We briefly describe the various processes that have been advocated to be a measure of the gluon. We discuss the importance of the gluon to the description of the structure function F2 at small x, with emphasis on the ln 1/x resummations.
