We have measured the beam-normal single-spin asymmetry $A_n$ in the elastic scattering of 1-3 GeV transversely polarized electrons from $^1$H and for the first time from $^4$He, $^{12}$C, and $^{208}$Pb. For $^1$H, $^4$He and $^{12}$C, the…

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…
