HEP event generators aim to describe high-energy collisions in full exclusive detail. They combine perturbative matrix elements and parton showers with dynamical models of less well-understood phenomena such as hadronization, diffraction,…
We review the results of measurements on soft and hard diffractive processes performed by the CDF Collaboration at the Fermilab Tevatron pbar-p collider in run I and place them in perspective by internal comparisons, as well as by…
We propose a new measurement to be performed at the Tevatron which can be decisive to distinguish between Pomeron-based and soft color interaction models of hard diffractive scattering.
The H1 and ZEUS experiments are measuring diffractive interactions in ep collisions at HERA. Performing QCD fits of these data with NLO DGLAP, diffractive parton distribution functions can be calculated. These diffractive PDFs can be used…
It is demonstrated that the "soft pomeron" (together with a secondary reggeon) describing cross-sections of hadron-hadron collisions is fairly able to describe the energy dependence of cross-sections of exclusive (virtual) photoproduction…
We present a formalism for high energy soft processes, mediated by Pomerons, which embodies pion-loop insertions in the Pomeron trajectory, rescattering effects via a two-channel eikonal and high-mass diffractive dissociation. It describes…
We present and discuss two different topics where Tevatron and HERA data can be compared directly. A method allowing for a direct comparison of data with theoretical predictions is proposed for forward jet production at HERA. An application…
Hadrons are composite objects made of quarks and gluons, and during a collision one can have several elementary interactions between the constituents. These elementary interactions, using an appropriate theoretical framework, can be related…

A comprehensive model, called ECOMB, is proposed to describe multiparticle production by soft interaction. It incorporates the eikonal formalism, parton model, color mutation, branching and recombination. The physics is conceptually…
The process of soft diffractive dissociation in hadronic collisions is discussed in the framework of the Miettinen-Pumplin model. A good description of the data in the ISR-Tevatron energy range is found. Predictions for the total, elastic…
It is proposed that soft particle production in hadronic collisions is dominated by multiple gluon exchanges between partons from the colliding hadrons, followed by radiation of hadronic clusters from the coloured partons distributed…
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…
Central exclusive production in hadron-hadron collisions at high energies, for example p + p -> p + X + p, where the "+" represents a large rapidity gap, is a valuable process for spectroscopy of mesonic states X. At collider energies the…
We propose a new model for a homogeneous description of hadron-hadron and hadron-nucleus collisions, the Gluon Exchange Model, fundamentally based on color octet (gluon) exchange. In proton-proton collisions we provide an exact description…
Highlights selected from recent measurements of colour-singlet exchange processes at HERA are summarised. Particular emphasis is placed on energy and momentum transfer dependences and the decomposition of the data into an expansion in Regge…
Recent experimental data have established some of the basic features of multiple interactions in hadron-hadron collisions. The emphasis is therefore now shifting, to one of exploring more detailed aspects. Starting from a brief review of…
We report on the development of a new model for the underlying event in hadron-hadron collisions. The model includes parton showers for all interactions, as well as non-trivial flavour, momentum, and colour correlations between interaction…

A selection of results from the H1 and ZEUS experiments at HERA are reviewed, particularly in the area of deep inelastic scattering and diffraction. Quantum chromodynamics gives a good explanation of these data down to surprisingly low…
