We discuss single-diffractive production of dijets. The cross section is calculated for the first time in the $k_t$-factorization approach, neglecting transverse momentum of the pomeron. We use Kimber-Martin-Ryskin unintegrated parton…
The DIS diffractive cross section, $d\sigma^{diff}_{\gamma^* p \to XN}/dM_X$, has been measured in the mass range $M_X < 15$ GeV for $\gamma^*p$ c.m. energies $60 < W < 200$ GeV and photon virtualities $Q^2 = 7$ to 140 GeV$^2$. For fixed…
We consider single-diffractive (SD) Higgs production in association with heavy flavour in proton-proton collisions at the LHC. The main focus of our study is a reliable estimate of SD/inclusive ratio, not a precision computation of the…

We review the signal, and the $b\bar{b}$ background, for Higgs production by the exclusive double-diffractive process, $pp \to p+H+p$, and its subsequent $H \to b\bar{b}$ decay, at the LHC. We discuss the production of Higgs bosons in both…

Production of rare particles within rapidity gaps has been proposed as a background-free signal for the detection of new physics at hadron colliders. No complete formalism accounts for such processes yet. We study a simple lowest-order QCD…

Few composite exponential models for the differential cross section are proposed to analyse the proton-proton ($pp$) elastic scattering at several energies. These proposed models are fitted to the data for $pp$ elastic differential cross…
We study the double-diffractive production of various heavy systems (e.g. Higgs, dijet, t tbar and SUSY particles) at LHC and Tevatron collider energies. In each case we compute the probability that the rapidity gaps, which occur on either…
Single top quarks in the $t$ channel are produced though the electroweak force and are therefore an excellent way to probe the electroweak sector of the standard model with top quark physics. The recent cross section measurement of single…

We show that eikonal corrections imposed on diffraction dissociation processes calculated in the triple Regge limit, produce a radical change in the energy dependence of the predicted cross section. The induced correction is shown to be in…
