The photon -- induced interactions, present in $ep$, $eA$, $pp$, $pA$, $AA$ and $e^+ e^-$ collisions, are expressed within the color dipole approach in terms of the photon wave function, which describes the transition of the photon into a…
`Soft' high-energy interactions are clearly important in pp collisions. Indeed, these events are dominant by many orders of magnitude, and about 40% are of diffractive origin; that is, due to elastic scattering or proton dissociation.…
We illustrate geometric scaling for the photon-proton cross section with a very simple saturation model. We describe the proton structure function F2 at small x in a wide kinematical range with an elementary functional form and a small…
We calculate the cross section of inclusive dijet photoproduction in ultraperipheral collisions (UPCs) of heavy ions at the CERN Large Hadron Collider using next-to-leading order perturbative QCD and demonstrate that it provides a good…
The event generator Sar$t$re has been used extensively for simulations of electron-ion collisions in preparation for the Electron-Ion Collider (EIC). Sar$t$re simulates exclusive diffraction in $e$A collisions, in principle for any nuclear…
Color transparency is the proposal that under certain circumstances the strong interactions can be reduced in magnitude. We give a comprehensive review of the physics, which hinges on the interface of perturbative QCD with non--perturbative…
We use the color-octet mechanism combined with the two gluon exchange model for the diffractive $J/\psi$ production in resolved photon processes. In the leading logarithmic approximation in QCD, we find that the diffractive $J/\psi$…
