Abstract: (IOP)
The basic QCD expectations concerning deep-inelastic scattering at low x, where x is the Bjorken scaling variable are reviewed. This includes discussion of the Lipatov equation which sums the leading powers of ln(1/x) and the shadowing effects. Phenomenological implications of the theoretical expectations for the deep-inelastic lepton-hadron scattering in the small-x region which will be accessible at the HERA ep collider are described. The author gives predictions for structure functions F2 and FL based on the kT factorization theorem and discusses jet production in deep-inelastic lepton scattering. The list of other topical problems relevant for small-x physics is given.- review: Durham 1993/03/21
