Low x_{bj} DIS, QCD and Generalized Vector Dominance

TL;DR

This paper reviews the application of Generalized Vector Dominance (GVD) to small x_{bj} deep inelastic scattering, connecting it with QCD concepts like color transparency, and discusses its current status in describing vector-meson production and photoabsorption.

Contribution

It provides an overview of GVD's relevance to small x_{bj} DIS and clarifies its QCD foundations, highlighting recent developments and interpretations.

Findings

GVD effectively describes vector-meson production at small x_{bj}

GVD originates from QCD notions such as color transparency

Current status of GVD in DIS is summarized

Abstract

We give a brief overview on the present status of Generalized Vector Dominance as appplied to vector-meson production and the total photoabsorption cross section in the region of small x_{bj}. We comment on how GVD originates from QCD notions such as color transparency.
