We investigate polarization observables in hyperon-nucleon scattering by decomposing scattering amplitudes into spin-space tensors, where each component describes scattering by corresponding spin-dependent interactions, so that…
The results of experiments at hadron colliders probing the structure of the pomeron through hard diffraction are reviewed. Some results on deep inelastic diffractive scattering obtained at HERA are also discussed and placed in perspective.…
A model for soft high-energy scattering is developed. The model is formulated in terms of effective propagators and vertices for the exchange objects: the pomeron, the odderon, and the reggeons. The vertices are required to respect standard…
Small momentum transfer elastic proton-proton cross-section at high energies is calculated assuming the nucleon composed of two constituents - a quark and a diquark. A comparison to data (described very well up to -t = 2 GeV^2/c) allows to…
We investigate the effect of high order radiative corrections in unpolarized electron proton elastic scattering and compare with the calculations at lowest order, which are usually applied to experimental data. Particular attention is…
Representing the semi-hard partonic interactions by the exchange of Lipatov's perturbative Pomeron, we express the semi-hard nuclear cross section as a self shadowing cross section. With the help of a generating functional technique, we…

Observables in elastic proton-deuteron scattering are sensitive probes of the nucleon-nucleon interaction and three-nucleon force effects. The present experimental data base for this reaction is large, but contains a large discrepancy…

Elements of the pomeron phenomenology within the Regge pole exchange picture are recalled. This includes discussion of the high energy behaviour of total cross-sections, the triple pomeron limit of the diffractive dissociation and the…
The role of spin degrees of freedom in high-energy hadron-hadron and lepton-hadron scattering is reviewed with emphasis on the dominant role of soft, diffractive, non-perturbative effects. Explicit models based on analyticity and Regge-pole…
The long standing mystery of smallness of diffractive dissociation of hadrons to large effective masses (the Pomeron-proton cross section is only 2 mb) witnesses that the gluonic clouds of valence quarks are so small (r_0=0.3fm) that soft…
The optical theorem allowing the determination of the total cross section for a hadron-hadron scattering from the imaginary part of the forward elastic scattering amplitude is believed to be an unavoidable consequence of the conservation of…
The paper describes the transport of the elastically and diffractively scattered protons in the proton-proton interactions at the LHC for the high beta* runs. A parametrisation of the attered proton transport through the LHC magnetic…
We analyze the recently discovered phenomena in elastic proton-proton scattering at the LHC, challenging the standard Regge-pole theory: the low-$|t|$ "break" (departure from the exponential behavior of the diffraction cone), the…
Light strongly interacting supersymmetric particles may be treated as partonic constituents of nucleons in high energy scattering processes. We construct parton distribution functions for protons in which a light gluino is included along…
