Gluon distribution at moderately low-x from NMC deuteron structure function data

Abstract

We present some simple methods to find gluon distribution from analysis of deuteron F_{2} structure function data at moderately low-x. Here we use the leading order(LO) Altarelli -Parisi(AP) evolution equation and New Muon Collaboration (NMC) deuteron F_{2} structure function data to extract gluon distribution. We also compare our results with those of other authors.
