The QCD dipole picture allows to build an unified theoretical description -based on BFKL dynamics- of the total and diffractive nucleon structure functions. We use a four parameter fit to describe the 1994 H1 proton structure function F2…
We calculate proton and nuclear diffractive structure functions in the IPsat (Kowalski-Teaney) dipole model. This parametrization has previously been shown to provide good agreement with inclusive F_2 measurements and exclusive vector meson…

We report on the extension of the data fitting considering the QCD inspired model based on the summation of gluon ladders applied to the $ep$ scattering. In lines of a two Pomeron approach, the structure function $F_2$ has a hard piece…

Multiple interaction models satisfying $s$-channel unitarity predict that, in contrast to inelastic processes, factorization is violated in diffractive processes. The size of this effect can be characterized in terms of the rapidity gap…
