Abstract
Recent HERA low Q(2) data show that the logarithmic slope of the proto n structure function (partial derivative F-2/partial derivative lnQ(2) ) is significantly different from perturbative QCD expectations for sm all values of Q(2) at exceedingly small values of x. We show that shad owing (screening) corrections provide a natural explanation for this e xperimental observation. (C) 1998 Published by Elsevier Science B.V. A ll rights reserved.
