dc.descriptionWe give a detailed account of the recently formulated generalized vector dominance/colour-dipole picture (GVD/CDP) of deep-inelastic scattering at low $x\cong Q^2/W^2$, including photoproduction. The approach, based on $γ^*(q \bar q)$ transitions, $q \bar q$ propagation and diffractive $(q \bar q)p$ scattering via the generic structure of the two-gluon exchange, provides a unique and quantitatively successful theory for the $γ^* p$ total cross section, $σ_{γ^* p} (W^2,Q^2)$, at low $x$. The GVD/CDP is shown to imply the empirical low-$x$ scaling law, $σ_{γ^* p} (W^2,Q^2)=σ_{γ^* p} (η)$ with $η=(Q^2+m_0^2)/Λ^2(W^2)$, that was established by a model-independent analysis of the experimental data.
