The total hadronic photon-photon cross-section measured by L3 and OPAL and the apparent discrepancy between the results are discussed. OPAL measurements of jet and charged hadron production in photon-photon scattering and preliminary H1…
Collisions of atomic nuclei at relativistic velocities allow to recreate the conditions encountered in neutron stars or in the early universe micro-seconds after the Big Bang. These reactions are performed in today's largest accelerator…
We constrain the amount of event-by-event fluctuations of the proton by comparing with the HERA coherent and incoherent diffractive $J/\Psi$ production data. We find that the HERA measurements prefer large geometric fluctuations. We then…
Development of concepts related to the photon and its high energy hadronic interaction is briefly reviewed. A photon considered as an ideal probe of hadron structure, paradoxically is also considered as an ideal target to test the…
New facilities for particle and nuclear physics research, which will be available due to constructing the TESLA linear electron-positron collider tangentially to the HERA proton ring, are discussed.
