Diffraction is an old subject which has received much interest in recent years due to the advent of diffractive hard scattering. We discuss some theoretical models and experimental results that have shown new striking effects, e.g. rapidity…
A new H1 measurement of diffractive dijet and 3-jet production cross sections in diffractive deep inelastic scattering events of the type ep->eXY is presented. The data constrain well the diffractive gluon distribution. At low x-pom, a…

We discuss the contribution of so-called semi-enhanced hard rescattering corrections to central exclusive diffractive Higgs production, pp -> p+H+p, at the LHC. We present arguments to show that these corrections are small. We confirm these…

I shall review the present status of Tevatron QCD studies, focusing on the production of jets, vector bosons, photons and heavy quarks. In general there is good agreement between the results of current calculational tools and the…
We consider central exclusive diffractive dipion production in the reactions $pp \to pp \pi^{+} \pi^{-}$ and $p\bar{p} \to p\bar{p} \pi^{+} \pi^{-}$ at high energies. We include the dipion continuum, the dominant scalar $f_{0}(500)$,…

Recent improvements of the hard scattering picture for exclusive reactions, namely the inclusion of both Sudakov corrections and the intrinsic transverse momentum dependence of the hadronic wave function, are reviewed. On account of these…
