Abstract

A smooth description of the total γ* p cross section from the deep inelastic scattering region to the real photoproduction limit is obtained with a parametrization based on a Regge type approach. The parametrization is obtained from a fit to the structure function data of BCDMS, SLAC and NA28 and the available total photoproduction cross section measurements above the resonance region, W > 1.75 GeV. The fit gives a reliable description of the data and provides a smooth transition from photoproduction to the deep inelastic region. Together with an earlier parametrization of the resonance region, it can be used to estimate radiative corrections over the full kinematical range.
