We analyse the momentum space triple Pomeron vertex in perturbative QCD. In addition to the standard form of this vertex which is used in the context of total cross-sections at high energies and in the QCD reggeon field theory, there exists…
The odderon intercept is calculated directly, from its expression via an average energy of the odderon Hamiltonian, using both trial wave functions in the variational approach and the wave function recently constructed by R.A.Janik and…
I review a recent progress in understanding of QCD Pomeron and its relation to exactly solvable models.
A traditional Regge model with a $Q^2$-independent Pomeron intercept closed (or equal) to one is constructed in order to describe the available data on the proton structure function. A Dipole Pomeron model which does not explicitly violate…
The solution to the Schwinger-Dyson equation that describes the summation over Pomeron loop diagrams is derived. The solution is a closed expression which splits into two parts. The first leads directly to the renormalization of the BFKL…
Monte Carlo generators which were tuned for energies up to that of the Tevatron, are found wanting when extended to LHC energies. We construct a model that satisfies the theoretical requisites of high energy soft interactions, based on two…
Deep-inelastic diffractive scaling provides fundamental insight into the QCD pomeron. It is argued that single gluon domination of the structure function, together with the well-known Regge pole property, determines that the pomeron carries…
In the paper we propose and solve analytically the non-linear evolution equation in the leading twist approximation for the Odderon contribution. We found three qualitative features of this solution, which differs the Odderon contribution…
The diffraction slope parameter is investigated for elastic proton-proton and proton-antiproton scattering based on the all available experimental data at low momentum transfer values. Energy dependence of the elastic diffraction slopes is…
Two distinct interactions of Pomerons should occur in dense multi-string events. Besides the usual triple Pomeron processes transitions to membraned cylinders can be expected to contribute in a significant way. They offer an efficient…
I briefly review: (a) some recent developments in the theory of hard scattering in QCD with polarized beams, and (b) coherent hard diffraction (that is, hard scattering in diffractive events, with the Pomeron behaving in an apparently…
A further analysis of inelastic diffraction data at the ISR and SPS-Collider confirms the relatively flat s-independent pomeron trajectory in the high-|t| domain, 1-2 GeV^2, reported earlier by the UA8 Collaboration. At |t| = 1.5 GeV^2,…
We consider hard diffractive events in proton-proton collisions at the LHC, in which both protons escape the collision intact. In such double Pomeron exchange processes, we propose to measure dijets and photon-jet final states, and we show…
In this paper an attempt is made to find an interface of the perturbative BFKL Pomeron with the non-perturbative Pomeron originating from non-perturbative QCD phenomena such as QCD instantons and/or scale anomaly. The main idea is that the…
Explicit analytical expressions for the drag and diffusion coefficients of a spherical particle attached to the interface between two immiscible fluids are constructed for the case of a small viscosity ratio between the fluid phases. The…
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…
We compare two approaches to the description of pion Compton scattering at moderate momentum transfer, one being based on local duality QCD sum rules for the invariant amplitudes of the process, which have been derived recently, and the…
We summarize the results of including running coupling corrections into the nonlinear evolution equation for diffractive dissociation. We also document a prediction that the NLO QCD odderon intercept is zero resulting from a discussion at…
The lowest order pomeron loop is calculated for the leading conformal weight with full dependence of the triple pomeron vertex on intermediate conformal weights. The loop is found to be convergent. Its contribution to the pomeron Green…
A unified treatment of high energy collisions in QCD is presented. Using a probabilistic approach, we incorporate both perturbative (hard) and non-perturbative (soft) components in a consistent fashion, leading to a ``Heterotic Pomeron". As…
