Recent Low x and Diffractive Collider Data

High Energy Physics - Experiment 2010-03-25 v1

Abstract

Selected recent data from collider experiments pertaining to the understanding of QCD at low Bjorken-x are reviewed. The status of QCD and Regge factorisation in hard diffractive interactions is discussed in terms of data from HERA and the Tevatron. The possibility of anomalous behaviour in the γγ\gamma \gamma total cross section is confronted with the most recent measurements from LEP. Data from all three colliders that are sensitive to possible BFKL effects are presented and different interpretations are discussed.
