Abstract

We investigate the structure of the leading diagrams in QCD. The diagrams of a simple scalar gluon model form the basis of a generalisation to the more complicated vector gluon theory. It is found that a certain set of a generalised ladder diagrams gives the standard QCD result for the non-singlet structure function in the limit x → 1. A simple brems-strahlung model is presented which forms a useful link between QCD field theory and more intuitive parton formulations. The value of a diagrammatic treatment is that it provides an accessible approach to the discussion of other processes such as the Drell-Yan mechanism for heavy muon pair production.
