Pinning down the self-similar gluon distribution from momentum sum rule
and explore the possibility of pinning down the gluon distribution G(x,Q) from it. The momentum sum rule is to be satisfied by any reasonable model of structure function. However, such requirement calls for information about the entire physical regime of x (0 6 x 6 1). It is also well-known that the gluon PDFs are, on the other hand, not directly measurable although there are several indirect ways of measuring like the longitudinal structure function or the slope and curvature of the structure function. We summarize the preliminary results of our analysis.

An analysis of a quantum chromodynamic structure function
We obtain an approximate solution of Altarelli-Parisi equations yielding a sample of quantum chromodynamic structure function. The SLAC-MIT data are analysed with it. Possible effects of intrinsic charm and higher twist are also included. Agreement is found to be good forx⩾0.25.

AN ANALYSIS OF THE ISGUR–WISE FUNCTION AND ITS DERIVATIVES WITHIN A HEAVY–LIGHT QCD QUARK MODEL
In determining the mesonic wave function from QCD inspired potential model, if the linear confinement term is taken as parent (with Coulombic term as perturbation), Airy's function appears in the resultant wave function — which is an infinite series. In the study of Isgur–Wise function (IWF) and its derivatives with such a wave function, the infinite upper limit of integration gives rise to divergence. In this paper, we have proposed some reasonable cutoff values for the upper limit of such integrations and studied the subsequent effect on the results. We have also studied the sensitivity of the order of polynomial approximation of the infinite Airy series in calculating the derivatives of IWF.

Free-field theory, fixed-point theory, and electron-positron annihilation into hadrons
The R problem of electron-positron physics is analyzed within the frameworks of a free-field theory (parton models) and a field theory with an infrared-stable fixed point. Present data do not rule out either of these models and hence they both can survive as alternatives to standard QCD in the R problem.

LEPTONIC DECAY OF HEAVY–LIGHT MESONS IN A QCD POTENTIAL MODEL
We study the masses and decay constants of heavy–light flavor mesons D, Ds, B and Bs in a QCD potential model. The mesonic wave function is used to compute the masses of D and B mesons in the ground state and the wave function is transformed to momentum space to estimate the pseudoscalar decay constants of these mesons. The leptonic decay widths and branching ratio of these mesons for different leptonic channels are also computed to compare with the experimental values. The results are found to be compatible with available data.

THE ISGUR–WISE FUNCTION IN AN IMPROVED QCD INSPIRED QUARK MODEL
We calculate the Isgur–Wise function of heavy light mesons and its derivatives — its slope and its curvature, in an improved version of our earlier QCD Inspired Quark Model with two-loop static potential.

Investigating neutron polarizabilities through Compton scattering on 3He.
We examine manifestations of neutron electromagnetic polarizabilities in coherent Compton scattering from the helium-3 nucleus. We calculate gamma3He elastic scattering observables using chiral perturbation theory to next-to-leading order [O(e2Q)]. We find that the unpolarized differential cross section can be used to measure neutron electric and magnetic polarizabilities, while two double-polarization observables are sensitive to different linear combinations of the four neutron spin polarizabilities.
