Structure functions from renormalization group improved small x evolution

Abstract

Abstract We perform the fit to the structure function $$F_2$$ F 2 data from HERA including terms due to the resummation at small x. The equation for the unintegrated gluon density is solved, previously established within the renormalization group improved small x framework. We find very good description of the structure function $$F_2$$ F 2 and its charm component $$F_2^c$$ F 2 c . The resulting unintegrated gluon density is found to be consistent with the calculations based on similar approaches available in the literature, with only slightly higher intercept value.
