A very wide body of HERA diffractive electroproduction data is confronted with the predictions of the colour dipole model. In doing so we focus upon three different parameterisations of the dipole scattering cross-section, whose parameters…
Multiple interaction models satisfying $s$-channel unitarity predict that, in contrast to inelastic processes, factorization is violated in diffractive processes. The size of this effect can be characterized in terms of the rapidity gap…
Unintegrated gluon distributions sensitive to the transverse spatial distribution of gluons in the proton are extracted from data on exclusive and diffractive final states at HERA in the dipole approach. These unintegrated gluon…

The hypothesis of the multi peripheral model is extended to the hadron-nucleus interactions and then generalized to the nucleus-nucleus case. The processing of the model depends on input parameters that are extracted from the features of…
