The gluon distribution is dominated by the hard pomeron at small x and all Q2, with no soft-pomeron contribution. This describes well not only the DGLAP evolution of the hard-pomeron part of F2(x,Q2), but also charm photoproduction and electroproduction, and is consistent with what is known about the longitudinal structure function.
