An up-to-date global QCD analysis of high energy lepton-hadron and hadron-hadron interactions is performed to better determine the gluon and quark parton distributions in the nucleon. Improved experimental data on inclusive jet production,…
We evaluate a number of new instanton-induced phenomena in QCD, starting with static dipole-dipole potentials, and proceeding to quark-quark and dipole-dipole scattering at high energy. We use a non-perturbative formulation of the…
An eikonalized elastic proton-proton and proton-antiproton scattering amplitude F(s,t), calculated from QCD as a finite sum of gluon ladders, is compared with the existing experimental data on the total cross section and the ratio…
We review some selected results of the tensor-pomeron and vector-odderon model of soft high-energy proton-proton scattering and central exclusive production of meson and baryon pairs in proton-proton collisions. We discuss the theoretical…
Recent progress in understanding general properties of high energy scattering near the unitarity limit, where high density gluon components of the wavefunction are dominant, is reviewed. The similarity of the QCD problem and that of…
We recently proposed a QCD-Pomeron described by the exchange of two non-perturbative gluons characterized by a dynamically generated gluon mass. It is here shown that data on elastic scattering, exclusive $\rho$ production in deep inelastic…
We give a short survey of recent LHC experiments and related theory topics concerning the Odderon problem.
Deuteron-proton elastic scattering is considered at the energies from 880 MeV to 2 GeV at the scattering angles $\theta^*\ge 140^\circ$. The multiple-scattering method is used to calculate the reaction amplitude. Four reaction mechanisms…
Compton scattering on the deuteron is studied in the framework of baryon chiral perturbation theory to third order in small momenta, for photon energies of order the pion mass. The scattering amplitude is a sum of one- and two-nucleon…
I review some recent developments in the QCD description of elastic vector meson production, focusing on issues like the meson wave function, the gluon density in the proton, factorisation, the use of parton-hadron duality and the…
In the absence of frustration, interacting bosons in the ground state exist either in the superfluid or insulating phases. Superfluidity corresponds to frictionless flow of the matter field, and in optical conductivity is revealed through a…
The total and differential cross sections of high energy pion-proton and pion-pion scattering are investigated in a holographic QCD model, focusing on the Regge regime in which the Pomeron exchange gives the dominant contribution to those…
We show that the weight functional for color sources in the classical theory of the Color Glass Condensate includes a term which generates Odderon excitations. Remarkably, the classical origin of these excitations can be traced to the…
A recent QCD formulation that is non-perturbative, finite, gauge-invariant, exact emerged from Schwinger's Generating Functional. A first test of the validity of this formulation is provided here against elastic proton-proton scattering at…
Recently there has been considerable interest in the subject of molecules, which are weakly bound states of hadron pairs. The question of the existence of molecules is closely related to the more general problem of the determination of low…
In this report diffractive high energy reactions are discussed in a functional integral approach where hadronic amplitudes are calculated from vacuum expectation values of lightlike Wegner-Wilson loops. In the first part we calculate…
We study the dynamical properties of an electron gas scattered by impenetrable antidots in the presence of a strong magnetic field. We find that the lineshape of the cyclotron resonance is very different from the Lorentzian and is not…
Predictions of the elastic proton-proton cross sections at energies of LHC are calculate on the base of the high energy dynamical model. The growth of $ds/dt$ at fixed transfer momenta are shown. The form of eikonal of elastic hadron…
We detail here the convergence properties of a new model-independent imaging method, the L\'evy expansion, that seems to play an important role in the analysis of the differential cross section of elastic hadron-hadron scattering. We…
An interpretation is given for elastic proton scattering at ultra-high energies with impact-parameter amplitude exceeding the black disk limit. It is shown that this scattering mode can arise due to the contribution of an exceptional…
