A Regge model of the Pomeron with intercept equal to one, leading to rising cross-sections is considered. Analysis of the experimental data on hadron and photon induced interactions is performed within the model. It is shown that the…
The first measurement of diffractive processes in deep inelastic scattering at the HERA collider is analysed in terms of a "soft" pomeron exchange model. The partonic structure of the pomeron which emerges in this picture is determined…
The LHCb detector with its unique pseudorapidity coverage allows to perform soft-QCD measurements in the kinematic forward region where QCD models have large uncertainties. Selected analyses related to soft-Diffraction will be summarised in…
Differential cross sections of the elastic pion-proton scattering are investigated at very small momentum transfer in a holographic QCD model, considering both the strong and Coulomb interaction in the Regge regime. The strong interaction…
In leading twist deep inelastic $ep$ scattering, the virtual photon interaction is fast compared to the time scale of soft color rearrangement. We compare the Pomeron exchange model, in which a neutral cluster is preformed, with a gluon…

A model for soft high-energy scattering is developed. The model is formulated in terms of effective propagators and vertices for the exchange objects: the pomeron, the odderon, and the reggeons. The vertices are required to respect standard…

In this thesis we show that the effective Lagrangian models, encoding the relevant symmetries of the underlying fundamental gauge theory for strong interactions (QCD), provide a reasonable understanding of the interactions among Light…
