DIS 2009 Concluding Talk: Outlook and Perspective

Abstract

I will present here my perception on the status of Deep Inelastic Scattering physics, as I have further developed it during this Workshop, together with a number of comments on the results that have impressed me most during this week. I will emphasize a number of open problems and of critical areas. Finally I conclude with some projections and auspices for the future of the field.

Comments: 18 pages, 10 figures. Talk given at the XVI Int. Workshop on Deep Inelastic Scattering and Related Subjects; Madrid, Spain, 26-30 April, 2009
