Truncated Moments of Nonsinglet Parton Distributions in the double logarithmic $l{n}^{2}x$ approximation

Abstract

The method of truncated Mellin moments in a solving QCD evolution equations of the nonsinglet structure functions $F_2^{NS}(x,Q^2)$ and $g_1^{NS}(x,Q^2)$ is presented. All calculations are performed within double logarithmic $l{n}^{2}x$ approximation. An equation for truncated moments which incorporates $l{n}^{2}x$ effects is formulated and solved for the unintegrated structure function $f^{NS}(x,Q^2)$. The contribution to the Bjorken sum rule coming from the region of very small $x$ is quantified. Further possible improvement of this approach is also discussed.
