A measurement is presented of diffractive dijet production in deep-inelastic scattering (DIS) interactions at HERA of the type ep-->eXY, where the X system is separated by a large rapidity gap from a low-mass leading baryonic system Y. The…
The elastic leptoproduction of $\phi$ measured by the H1 collaboration at HERA is described by a perturbative QCD model, based on open $s\bar{s}$ production and parton hadron duality, proposed by Martin et al. We observe that both the total…
Production of large-p_T hadron pairs by polarized photon on a longitudinally polarized proton towards probing the polarized gluon distribution is studied. Resolved photon contributions and the effect of changing the scales are taken into…
The two gluon exchange model of the pomeron is used to compute the photoproduction reaction $\gamma p \to Z^0 p$. The predicted cross section is too small to be observed at HERA, but may be detectable at an eventual Next Linear Collider.
Measurements of double helicity asymmetries for inclusive hadron production in polarized proton-proton collisions are sensitive to spin-dependent parton distribution functions, in particular to the gluon distribution function. This study…
Recently the possible existence of negative gluon helicity, $\Delta g$, has been observed to be compatible with existing empirical constraints, including from jet production in polarized proton-proton collisions at RHIC, and lattice QCD…
We propose to constrain the gluon Wigner distribution in the nucleon by studying the exclusive diffractive dijet production process in ultraperipheral proton-nucleus collisions (UPCs) at RHIC and the LHC. Compared to the previous proposal…
The gluon content of the proton is embodied by the unintegrated gluon distribution (UGD), which has universal validity. In literature many models of UGD have been proposed so far. The polarized $\rho$-meson leptoproduction at HERA offers a…
Plans are underway to measure spin asymmetries at large momentum transfer in hadron hadron collisions at RHIC and elsewhere. Proposals have focused on measuring quark transversity and quark and gluon helicity distributions in the nucleon.…
Little information is known about the polarization of gluons inside a longitudinally polarized proton. I report on the sensitivity of photoproduction experiments to it. Both jet and heavy quark production are considered.
We study the diffractive jet production in electron-ion collisions in the kinematical region where the mass $M_X$ of the diffractive final state is larger than $Q^2$. Based on parton saturation framework predictions are done for the…
We discuss results on the diffractive production of the vector mesons rho, phi and omega reported by the H1 and ZEUS collaborations at HERA. Unique to such studies is the experimental accessibility to the polarization of the vector mesons…
The distribution of the spin of the nucleon among its constituents can be parametrized in the form of polarized parton distribution functions for quarks and gluons. Using all available data on the polarized structure function $g_1(x,Q^2)$,…
We review the application of perturbative QCD to diffractive processes. We introduce the two gluon exchange model to describe diffractive qq(bar) and qq(bar)g production in deep inelastic scattering. We study the triple Regge limit and…
These proceedings show the preliminary results of the dijet longitudinal double spin asymmetry $A_{LL}$ in polarized proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s} = 200$ GeV for the pseudorapidity range $|\eta| \le 0.8$. The integrated luminosity…
We describe the gluon parton distribution function (PDF) in the proton, deduced by data from the ATLAS and HERA experiments, in the framework of the parton statistical model. The best fit parameters involved in the Planck formula that…
We discuss Lambda polarization and single-spin left-right asymmetry in diffractive hadron-hadron scattering at high energies. We show that the physical picture proposed in a recent Letter is consistent with the experimental observation that…
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 $J/\psi$…
Gluinos are produced pairwise at the LHC in quark-antiquark and gluon-gluon collisions: $qqbar,gg \to \tilde{g} \tilde{g}$. While the individual polarization of gluinos vanishes in the limit in which the small mass difference between L and…
