The study of the inelastic scattering of hadrons has progressed in the last decade. With the availability of high-statistics data sets from HERA and the Tevatron, our understanding of high energy and high jet multiplicity events has become…
We introduce the notion of cumulative activity for inelastic events generated under hadron collisions, discuss its energy dependence and connection with the reflective scattering mode. These issues are relevant for enlightening the…
We review some recent results for elastic electron deuteron scattering (deuteron form factors) and photodisintegration of the deuteron, with emphasis on the recent high energy data from Jefferson Laboratory (JLab).
The theory of the perturbative pomeron, due to Lipatov and collaborators, is used to compute the probability of observing parton-parton elastic scattering and rapidity gaps between jets in hadron collisions at SSC and LHC energies.
We suggest a simple physical picture for the diffractive parton distributions that appear in diffractive deeply inelastic scattering. In this picture, partons impinging on the proton can have any transverse separation, but only when the…
We investigate several ingredients for a theory of multiple hard scattering in hadron-hadron collisions. Issues discussed include the space-time structure of multiple interactions, their power behavior, spin and color correlations,…
We give a short survey of recent LHC experiments and related theory topics concerning the Odderon problem.
Recent results of the ATLAS experiment at LHC on hadron spectroscopy, including exotic states, are presented. Comparison of the results with various theoretical predictions is discussed.
Several methods of extracting the magnitude of the real parts of the elastic hadron scattering amplitude - from the experimental data are presented. These methods allows us to obtain the real parts at one definite point of the transfer…
We present a short summary of parton saturation concepts as seen in deep inelastic scattering.
Modern-day `testing' of (perturbative) QCD is as much about pushing the boundaries of its applicability as about the verification that QCD is the correct theory of hadronic physics. This talk gives a brief discussion of a small selection of…
The description of excitations in hot and dense (hadronic) matter is discussed with emphasis on the use of correlation functions as a common framework for comparing different model (and QCD lattice) calculations with each other. Typical…
A wealth of data on hadronic b -> s transitions is available from the B-factories and will be improved at the LHCb experiment and possible future super-B-factories. I review the theory of these decays as it pertains to the search for…
Proton-proton elastic scattering at high energy is a process with simple kinematics but surprisingly complex dynamics. Measurements of these processes at particle colliders require dedicated detectors and unusual measurement conditions. In…
We review the results of measurements on soft and hard diffractive processes performed by the CDF Collaboration at the Fermilab Tevatron pbar-p collider in run I and place them in perspective by internal comparisons, as well as by…
Highlights selected from recent measurements of colour-singlet exchange processes at HERA are summarised. Particular emphasis is placed on energy and momentum transfer dependences and the decomposition of the data into an expansion in Regge…
Measurements of hard diffractive final states performed with the H1 experiment at HERA are presented and confronted with predictions based on diffractive parton densities.
The QCD analysis of deep inelastic diffractive scattering at HERA is performed assuming the dominance of the "soft" pomeron exchange and simple, physically motivated parametrization of parton distributions in the pomeron. Both the LO and…
Based on the behavior of the elastic scattering data, we introduce an almost model-independent parametrization for the imaginary part of the scattering amplitude, with the energy and momentum transfer dependences inferred on empirical basis…
Diffuse intensities in the electron diffraction patterns of concentrated face-centered cubic solid solutions have been widely attributed to chemical short-range order, although this connection has been recently questioned. This article…
