Structure Functions and Final-State Properties in Deeply Inelastic electron-proton Scattering

University dissertation from Dept. of Theoretical Physics, Lund University, Sölvegatan 14 A, S-223 62 LUND, Sweden

Abstract: In this thesis, we give a description of the detailed structure of the proton and a description of the final-state properties in electron-proton scattering. Qualitative results, in a purely gluonic scenario with the leading log approximation, and quantitative results, where quarks are included and some sub-leading corrections have been made, are presented. The quantitative results are in fair agreement with available experimental data and a Monte Carlo event generator for electron-proton scattering is presented. Further, a computer program for calculating QCD colour factors is presented.
