TL;DR
This paper reviews recent experimental results on structure functions in deep inelastic lepton-nucleon scattering, highlighting new measurements at HERA, flavor densities, gluon distribution, and alpha_s, reflecting on past achievements and future prospects.
Contribution
It provides an overview of the latest experimental measurements of structure functions, including new data from HERA and insights into parton distributions and strong coupling constant.
Findings
New structure function measurements at low x and high Q2 from HERA
Results on light and heavy flavor parton densities
Determinations of the gluon distribution and alpha_s
Abstract
Latest results on structure functions, as available at the Lepton-Photon Symposium 1999, are presented. This report focusses on three experimental areas: new structure function measurements, in particular from HERA at low x and high Q2; results on light and heavy flavour densities; determinations of the gluon distribution and of alpha_s. As the talk was delivered at a historic moment and place, a few remarks were added recalling the exciting past and looking into the promising future of deep inelastic scattering.
