Low $x$ physics and Structure Functions

Abstract

In this talk I review the behaviour of structure functions at low values of Bjorken $x$ and discuss the theoretical underpinnings with particular attention to resummation schemes. I present the need for 'less inclusive' events to distinguish between various resummation schemes and discuss the various difficulties in differentiating experimentally between different schemes.
