We review the state-of-the-art of Glauber-inspired models for estimating the distribution of the number of participating nucleons in pA and AA collisions. We argue that there is room for improvement in these models when it comes to the…

A Monte Carlo model, initially developed for soft pp and AA collisions at high energy, is applied for proton-lead interaction at the LHC energy. Elementary collisions are implemented at the partonic level and do not involve the usual…

Leading neutron production on protons is known to be subject to strong absorptive corrections, which have been under debate for a long time. On nuclear targets these corrections are significantly enhanced and push the partial cross sections…

Color fluctuations in hadron-hadron collisions are responsible for the presence of inelastic diffraction and lead to distinctive differences between the Gribov picture of high energy scattering and the low energy Glauber picture. We find…
The charged particle multiplicity distribution in high energy hadronic and nuclear collisions receive contribution from both diffractive and non diffractive processes. It is experimentally challenging to segregate diffractive events from…
A review is given of the measurements of the hard diffractive interactions in recent years from two high-energy colliders, the HERA $ep$ collider and the Tevatron $p\bar{p}$ collider. The structure of the diffractive exchange in terms of…
In the framework of the classical Glauber approach the exact analytical expression for the variance of the number of participants (wounded nucleons) for given centrality AA interactions is presented. It's shown, that in the case of…
Hadrons are composite objects made of quarks and gluons, and during a collision one can have several elementary interactions between the constituents. These elementary interactions, using an appropriate theoretical framework, can be related…
We discuss two collider processes which combine a diffractively produced $\rho$ meson separated by a large rapidity gap from a hard exclusive scattering of a Pomeron on a nucleon, giving rise to a lepton pair or to a second meson. These two…
Multiplicity fluctuations in heavy ion collisions obtain comparable contributions both from initial stage of the collisions, and from final stage interaction. We calculate the former component, using the ``wounded nucleon'' model and…
In high energy electron-ion colliders, a new way to probe nucleon structure becomes available through diffractive reactions, where the incident particle produces a very energetic almost forward particle. QCD describes these reactions as due…
