QCD is the theory of strong interactions and non-perturbative methods have been developed to address the confinement property of QCD. Many experimental measurements probe the confining dynamics, and it is well-known that hard scattering…
There seem to be recently an evidence for $C = -1$ odderon exchange in proton-proton elastic scattering at high energies. Here we discuss three different central-exclusive-production processes $pp \to pp (\phi \to K^{+}K^{-})$, $pp \to pp…
We argue that at moderately large momentum transfer -t <10 GeV^2, hadronic form factors and wide-angle Compton scattering amplitudes are dominated by mechanism corresponding to overlap of soft wave functions. We show that the soft…
High energy hadron-hadron collisions are discussed. It is argued that soft collisions should involve in an essential way nonperturbative QCD. A way is outlined how to calculate properties of high energy elastic hadron-hadron scattering…
We discuss the point that the processes with high transverse momenta could have a nonperturbative origin. This discussion is motivated by the fact that there are several experimental indications that such processes can originate from soft…
We perform a novel type of analysis of diffractive deep-inelastic scattering data, in which the input parton distributions of the Pomeron are parameterised using the perturbative QCD expressions. In particular, we treat individually the…
Within the framework of the hard thermal loop effective theory we derive a system of Boltzmann-like kinetic equations taking into account the simplest processes of nonlinear interaction of soft fermionic and bosonic QCD plasma excitations:…
We make a brief presentation of the soft colour interactions models, the Soft Colour Interaction and the Generalised Area Law, and summarise the results when they are applied to p-pbar scattering. The models give a good description of the…
In this paper we demonstrate that our model which is based on the CGC/saturation approach, is able to describe the soft interaction collisions including the new TOTEM prelimenary data at 13 TeV. We believe that this strengthens the argument…
The nonperturbative effects in the high-energy processes involving strongly interacting particles are studied within the instanton liquid model of the QCD vacuum (ILM) by using the Wilson integral framework. The detailed analysis of…
In the absence of a global description of the experimental data on elastic and soft diffractive scattering from the first principles of QCD, model-independent analyses may provide useful phenomenological insights for the development of the…
We present a novel Monte-Carlo implementation of dynamic colour screening via multiple exchanges of semi-soft gluons as a basic QCD mechanism to understand diffractive electron-proton scattering at the HERA collider. Based on the kinematics…
Following recent progresses in the understanding of high-energy scattering in QCD, we derive the first phenomenological consequences of Pomeron loops, in the context of both inclusive and diffractive deep inelastic scattering. In…
The elastic hadron-hadron scattering at high energies is one of the most fundamental subjects of all particle physics problems and yet is least understood in spite of many advances in quantum chromodynamics (QCD) at the conceptual level. We…
We present a new model for soft interactions in the event-generator Herwig. The model consists of two components. One to model diffractive final states on the basis of the cluster hadronization model and a second component that addresses…
The Regge limit in perturbative QCD for processes as DIS (low x) and photon or onia-particles scattering is considered. In the first part a phenomenological approach for the inclusion of the running coupling, preserving the gluon…
We study the graviton Regge trajectory in Holographic QCD as a model for high energy scattering processes dominated by soft pomeron exchange. This is done by considering spin J fields from the closed string sector that are dual to glueball…
We show that the diffractive pp (and p\bar{p}) data (on \sigma_tot, d\sigma_el/dt, proton dissociation into low-mass systems, \sigma^D(low M), and high-mass dissociation, d\sigma/d(\Delta\eta)) in a wide energy range from CERN-ISR to LHC…
In this lecture I give a short introduction to the high energy limit of hadronic interactions. The elements of the Regge theory, Pomeron in QCD and high energy scattering in AdS/CFT correspondence are presented. I discuss the resummation of…
We briefly present the soft colour interaction models which are successful in reproducing a multitude of diffractive hard scattering data, and give predictions for diffractive Higgs production at the Tevatron and LHC. Only a few diffractive…
