An extended study of exclusive vector meson production in e,p interactions has been performed by the H1 and the ZEUS collaborations at the HERA collider. Recent measurements are reported and discussed within the framework of the dipole…
Recent results on searches for signals of physics beyond Standard Model at the ep collider HERA are reviewed. Limits obtained for contact interaction models, large extra dimensions and finite quark radius are presented. Searches for…
We argue that current data on nuclear shadowing confirm expectations of the color singlet models of nuclear shadowing. We demonstrate that unitarity constrains require nuclear shadowing for gluons to be very significant already for $x \le…
The cross section for dijet photoproduction at high transverse energies is presented as a function of the transverse energies and the pseudorapidities of the jets. The measurement is performed using a sample of ep-interactions corresponding…

A new next-to-leading order Monte Carlo program for the calculation of jet cross sections in photoproduction is described. The contributions from both resolved and direct components are included to O(\alpha \alpha_s^2). Properties of the…
Deeply inelastic scattering of electrons off nuclei can determine whether parton distributions saturate at HERA energies. If so, this phenomenon will also tell us a great deal about how particles are produced, and whether they equilibrate,…
The high energy photoproduction of jets is being observed at the ep collider, HERA. It may be that the HERA centre-of-mass energy is sufficiently large that the production of more than one pair of jets per ep collision becomes possible,…
A measurement of the inclusive cross-section for the photoproduction of protons in the central fragmentation region at HERA is presented. The measured cross-section is compared with the prediction of the PYTHIA MC model. The obtained value…
The photoproduction of Drell-Yan lepton pairs at HERA is studied. We show that in the backward rapidity region the cross section is strongly sensitive to the small-$x$ behaviour of the quark distributions in the proton, and that with…
Diffractive processes in photon-proton interactions at HERA offer the opportunity to improve the understanding of the transition between the soft, non-perturbative regime in hadronic interactions at $Q^2 = 0$ and the perturbative region at…
A review is presented of diffractive vector meson production at HERA, with stress on the investigation of ``hard'' features and comparisons with theoretical predictions based on perturbative QCD approaches.
