The energy dependence of the cross sections for electromagnetic diffractive processes can be well described by a single power, $W^\delta$. For $J/\psi$ photoproduction this holds in the range from 20 GeV to 2 TeV. This feature is most…
We study diffractive hard dijet production, with one or two rapidity gaps, at high energies. We emphasize that both hard and Regge factorization are broken in these processes. We show that a multi-Pomeron-exchange model for screening…
