Abstract
We present a method to find the gluon distribution from the F2proton
structure function data at low-x assuming the Regge behaviour
of the gluon distribution
function at this limit. We use the leading order (LO)
Altarelli-Parisi (AP) evolution equation in our analysis and compare our
result with
those of other authors. We also discuss the limitations of the Taylor
expansion
method in extracting the gluon distribution from the F2 structure
function used by those authors.
