We obtain an improved bound for the 2k-th moment of a degree k Weyl sum, restricted to a set of minor arcs, when k is small. We then present some applications of this bound to some Diophantine problems, including a case of the Waring–Goldbach problem, and a particular family of Diophantine equations defined as the sum of a norm form and a diagonal form.
