We develop a formalism where the hard and soft pomeron contributions to high energy scattering arise as leading Regge poles of a single kernel in holographic QCD. The kernel is obtained using effective field theory inspired by Regge theory…

The partonic transverse momentum, k_t distribution plays a crucial role in driving high-energy hadron interactions. If k_t is limited we have old fashioned Regge Theory. If k_t increases with energy the interaction may be described by…
