Deuteron Compton scattering is calculated to $\mathcal{O}(Q^2)$ in pionless effective field theory using a dibaryon approach. The vector amplitude, which was not included in the previous pionless calculations, contributes to the cross…

Production of ultra-high-energy (UHE) particles in astrophysics should not be different from the hadron production at the contemporary proton colliders. LHC experiments are providing us with the proton spectra at very high energy (VHE) that…

I discuss the theoretical status of the `soft' pomeron and its place in describing generic diffractive processes. The role of perturbative QCD (pQCD) corrections is considered, in particular in the context of quasi-elastic vector meson…
The Odderon state in perturbative QCD is briefly reviewed. Recent calculations devoted to estimate the diffrative eta_c production at high energies from the leading known Odderon states are discussed.
Order $\alpha_s$-corrections to the diffractive structure functions $F_L^D$ and $F_2^D$ at large $Q^2$ and small $x$ are evaluated in the semiclassical approach, where the initial proton is treated as a classical colour field. The…

The spectrum of partons in a QCD jet becomes independent of the primary energy in the low momentum limit. This follows within the perturbative QCD from the colour coherence in soft gluon branching. Remarkably, the hadrons follow such…
