Phys. Rev. D 65, 114019 (2002) [13 pages]Unitarity corrections to the structure functions through the dipole pictureReceived 8 November 2001; published 24 June 2002 We study the dipole picture for the description of deep inelastic scattering, focusing on the structure functions which are driven directly by the gluon distribution. One performs estimates using the effective dipole cross section given by the Glauber-Mueller approach in QCD, which encodes the corrections due to the unitarity effects associated with the saturation phenomenon. We also address issues about frame invariance of the calculations when analyzing the observables. © 2002 The American Physical Society URL:
