Substantial advances in our understanding of several aspects of QCD have been achieved in the recent past using heavy quarks as a tool. However, many open questions still remain. These successes and puzzles are highlighted by the latest…

The hadronic final state in electron-proton collisions at HERA has provided a rich testing ground for development of the theory of the strong force, QCD. In this review, over 200 publications from the H1 and ZEUS Collaborations are…

Recent experimental results on diffractive high $E_T$ jet production and diffractive open charm production, obtained by the H1 and ZEUS experiments at HERA, are presented. Various theoretical models for diffractive hard scattering are…

HERA data on soft hadron production are discussed. The measured inclusive and exclusive hadron cross sections show a simple scaling behaviour.

We discuss the possibility of explaining the excess in the cross section at high-Q^2 recently found at HERA in terms of four-fermion effective interactions. To avoid the constraints from low-energy data, we select three special cases in…

In this paper we present a two channel model with the goal of reproducing the soft scattering data available in the ISR-Tevatron energy range, and extend the model results to LHC and Cosmic Rays energies. A characteristic feature of the…

Experimental results obtained with the HERA collider and recent progress in their theoretical interpretation are reviewed. After a short introduction to HERA physics, deep inelastic scattering and photoproduction are discussed as (virtual)…

One of the key challenges for nuclear physics today is to understand from first principles the effective interaction between hadrons with different quark content. First successes have been achieved using techniques that solve the dynamics…

We briefly present the soft colour interaction models which are successful in reproducing a multitude of diffractive hard scattering data, and give predictions for diffractive Higgs production at the Tevatron and LHC. Only a few diffractive…

We review the results of measurements on hard diffractive processes performed by the CDF Collaboration and report preliminary CDF results on two soft diffractive processes with a leading antiproton and a rapidity gap in addition to that…

We introduce soft colour interactions as a novel mechanism to understand the observed events with large rapidity gaps in $ep$ collisions at HERA. Colour exchanges between produced partons and colour-charges in the proton remnant modifies…

This review focuses on diffractive physics, which involves the long-range interactions of the strong nuclear force at high energies described by SU(3) gauge symmetry. It is expected that diffractive processes account for nearly 40% of the…

Results on hard diffraction from HERA and proton-antiproton Colliders are reviewed with emphasis on the factorization properties of the diffractive structure function of the proton and on the structure of the pomeron.

Hadronic diffraction has become a hot and fashionable subject in recent years due to the great interest triggered by the HERA and Tevatron data. These data have helped to put the field in a different perspective paving the road to a…

Recent experimental data have established some of the basic features of multiple interactions in hadron-hadron collisions. The emphasis is therefore now shifting, to one of exploring more detailed aspects. Starting from a brief review of…
