Abstract: This work aims to investigate the simultaneous influence of two-photon effects in quantum electrodynamics and logarithmic corrections in quantum chromodynamics on certain observable experimental quantities (structure functions A(Q²) and B(Q²) in elastic electron-deuteron scattering). Analyzing these effects broadens our understanding of electron scattering physics, particularly the manifestations of quark-gluon degrees of freedom in the deuteron.

Keywords: quantum electrodynamics, perturbative quantum chromodynamics, elastic electron-deuteron scattering, deuteron structure functions, two-photon exchange, theory-data comparison, structure of the deuteron.
