STRUCTURE FUNCTIONS AND GENERAL FINAL-STATE PROPERTIES IN THE LINKED DIPOLE CHAIN MODEL

We have in an earlier paper, [1], presented a generalization, the Link ed Dipole Chain Model LDC, of the model developed by Ciafaloni-Catani- Fiorani-Marchesini, [2], to decribe the structure functions and the st ates in Deep Inelastic Scattering events. In this paper we would like to present an investigation of a set of general features of the LDC Mo del, viz the behaviour of the structure functions (we will show how th e result interpolates in a precise way in between the well-known DGLAP and BFKL approaches), the average bremsstrahlung emission in the stat es and finally a partitioning of the structure functions into three di fferent channels: the ''ordinary'' parton-probe events, where all brem sstrahlung emissions are below the probe Q(2), the boson-gluon fusion events where the last splitting of the par ton chains contain transver se momentum above Q(2), and the resolved Rutherford scattering events between the probe and the hadron (where the largest transverse momentu m occur somewhere along the emission lines away from the ends).
