This thesis would not have been possible without the contributions and help of many people.
First of all I would like to thank my supervisor Prof. Christian Kiesling for giving me the opportunity to work within the H1 group at MPIM. I am grateful for his enormous enthusiasm and incredible patience in teaching and discussions since I have started to work within the H1 group. I very much appreciate that he has found time for detailed proof-reading of this thesis.
I wish to express my gratitude to Prof.dr. Othmar Biebel for kindly accepting to be my second advisor.
In particular, I owe a debt of thanks to Vladimir Chekelian, whose continuous interest and useful advises were of great help. I am especially grateful for his guidance in the structure function measurement and his critical reading of the thesis.
Furthermore, I am very greateful to Eram Rizvi, Zhiqing Zhang and Emanuel Sauvan for clear explanations and advises related to the analysis, especially for their cheering my spirit during the hard time of the DIS preliminaries.
The H1 group in Munich: Ana Dubak, Bob Olivier, Ludger Janaushek, Ringaile Placakyte and Jens Zimmermann made the work much easier with long “tea break” discussions, enjoyable table tennis games and friendly atmosphere during past years. In particular, I would like to thank Ringaile Placakyte with whom I shared the office during past years, for discussions, jokes and great coffee. Many thanks go to Ana Dubak and Burkard Reisert who found time to read the draft of this thesis.
I would also like to thank to my uncle Borko who should be blamed for my deep interesting in physics.
A special thank you goes to my family: mother, father, my sweet sisters for their enormous love, understanding and support I have been getting through all my life.
Finally, a deep thank you deserves my husband Dragan who with love shared all my ups and downs in the last year. His jokes, optimism and support helped me to survive whenever I was wondering does this work make sense.
