In the framework of Anisotropic Chromodynamics, a non-perturbative realization of QCD, we develop the Low-Nussinov picture of the Pomeron. In this approach all the usual problems of low pT perturbative calculations (infrared divergence) are…
We estimate the size of the triple Pomeron vertex in perturbative QCD and compare with the phenomenological value extracted from Regge fits to experimental data. For simplicity, the results of the QCD analysis are taken in the large-N_c…
The four-pomeron vertex is studied in the perturbative QCD. Its dominating terms of the leading (zeroth and first) orders in the coupling constant and subdominant in the number of colors are constructed. The vertex consists of two terms,…
In the framework of the hard pomeron model it is shown that at large $Q^2$ the diffractive contribution to the structure functions rises as $Q^{0.3362}$ and much slowlier than the total contribution rising as $Q$.
Coherence phenomena, the increase with energy of coherence length and the non-universality of parton structure of the effective Pomeron are explained. New hard phenomena directly calculable in QCD such as diffractive electroproduction of…

Diffractive scattering involves exchange of a Pomeron to make a rapidity gap. It is normally assumed that to get a hard scattering in diffraction, one may treat the Pomeron as an ordinary particle, which has distributions of gluons and…

Large - distance effects in the hadron wave function for the hadron-Pomeron vertex in the QCD -model are discussed. It is shown that they lead to the spin-flip part of the Pomeron coupling which can reach $10 \div 20 %$ with respect to the…
The pomeron-pomeron interaction is studied in the perturbative approach of BFKL-Bartels. The total pomeron-pomeron cross-section is proportional to $\alpha_{s}^{4}s^{\Delta}/\sqrt {t_{1}t_{2}}$ where $\sqrt{s}$ is the c.m. energy and…
Measurements of the diffractive structure function, $F_2^D$, of the proton at HERA are used to extract the partonic structure of the Pomeron. Regge Factorization is tested and is found to describe well the existing data within the selected…
We discuss the phenomenological and theoretical implications of recent progresses in the evaluation of multi-Pomeron vertices in high-energy perturbative QCD.
The multiperipheral ladder structure of the Pomeron leads to the quite natural conclusion that the elastic slope Bel is not simple linear function of the colliding particles energy logarithm. The existing experimental data on the…

We study the role of semi-classical QCD vacuum solutions in high energy scattering by considering the instanton contribution to hadronic cross sections. We propose a new type of instanton-induced interactions (``instanton ladder'') that…

The logarithmic slope of the diffractive structure function is a potential observable scanning the hard and soft contributions in diffraction, allowing to disentangle the QCD dynamics. We report our calculations concerning this quantity, in…
