Abstract:

Results are presented on structure functions and final state properties within the CCFM approach. Traditionally used forms of the CCFM equation have difficulty fitting the F_2 data, predicting too fast a growth at small x. A solution can be found in a particular treatment of formally subleading (1-z) terms, which dampens very considerably the small-x growth. Preliminary results are shown for the transverse energy flow, and future prospects and plans are discussed.
