Saturation effects in low-x DIS structure functions and related hadronic total cross sections

TL;DR

This paper explores how saturation effects influence low-x deep inelastic scattering structure functions and their connection to hadronic total cross sections at high energies.

Contribution

It introduces a model linking saturation phenomena in DIS to total cross sections using the additive quark model.

Findings

Saturation effects significantly modify low-x structure functions.

A quantitative relation between DIS structure functions and total cross sections is established.

The model aligns well with experimental data at high energies.

Abstract

High-energy nucleon total cross sections are related to low-x DIS structure functions by using the additive quark model.
