We calculate the order alpha_s^2 and order alpha_s^3 QCD contributions to colour-singlet exchange in the leading log s approximation. We implement the resulting amplitude at the hadronic level and thus construct the QCD pomeron and odderon…
The exclusive and inclusive electroproduction off the polarized deuteron is considered at large $Q^2$ and $x \ge 0.5$. It is shown that the use of a polarized target will allow to emphasize smaller than average internucleon distances in the…

Diffractive production is considered in the ultrahigh energy region where pomeron exchange amplitudes are transformed into black disk ones due to rescattering corrections. The corresponding corrections in hadron reactions $h_1+h_3\to…
Two distinct interactions of Pomerons should occur in dense multi-string events. Besides the usual triple Pomeron processes transitions to membraned cylinders can be expected to contribute in a significant way. They offer an efficient…
