Hard- Pomeron behavior of the Longitudinal Structure Function $F_L$ in the Next- to- Leading- Order at low $x$

Abstract

We present an analytic formula to extract the longitudinal structure function in the next- to -leading order of the perturbation theory at low $x$, from the Regge- like behavior of the gluon distribution and the structure function at this limit. In this approach, the longitudinal structure function has the hard- Pomeron behavior. The determined values are compared with the $H1$ data and MRST model. All results can consistently be described within the framework of perturbative QCD which essentially show increases as $x$ decreases.
