Spin dependencies of the intensity and polarization of the synchrotron radiation of the longitudinally polarized particle performing uniform circular motion in the magnetic field are investigated.
The pinwheel tiling is the paradigm for a substitution tiling with circular symmetry, in the sense that the corresponding autocorrelation is circularly symmetric. As a consequence, its diffraction measure is also circularly symmetric, so…
We calculate the cross section and single-spin azimuthal asymmetry, A_n(t) for inclusive neutron production in pp collisions at forward rapidities relative to the polarized proton. Absorptive corrections to the pion pole generate a relative…
Phenomena of rotation and oscillations of particle spin are discussed for particles rotating in storage ring. The fact that these effects are described by spin-dependent part of zero-angle scattering amplitude allows to use them for the…
One of the primary goals of the RHIC Spin program is to determine the gluon polarization distribution within the proton. At leading order, $pp$ collisions involve a mixture of quark-quark, quark-gluon, and gluon-gluon scattering. In RHIC,…

Using a perturbative model for diffractive interactions, we derive an expression for the polarized diffractive structure function $g_1^D$ in the high energy limit. This structure function is given by the interference of diffractive…
The reversal of the time evolution of the local polarization in an interacting spin system involves a sign change of the effective dipolar Hamiltonian which refocuses the 'spin diffusion' process generating a polarization echo. Here, the…
Reflection and transmission of electrons scattered by a rectangular potential step in the presence of an external magnetic field parallel to the electron beam is described with the use of the Dirac equation. It is shown that in addition to…
We assume that the scattering amplitude is represented by Froissaron, Maximal Odderon as well as by standard Regge poles. From the fit to the data of $pp$ and $\bar pp$ scattering at high energy and not too large momentum transfers we found…

Based on the hard-scattering factorization which decomposes the diffractive structure function into a pomeron flux and a pomeron structure function, we study the single diffractive Lambda_c^+ production in polarized pp scattering: p + p ->…
The Dirac equation is used to describe oblique spin-conserving and spin-flip reflections of relativistic electrons from a one-dimensional potential barrier in a vacuum. When an electron hits the barrier from an oblique direction, its…

New experimental data on inclusive spectra of identified particles produced in pp collisions at the RHIC are used to test z-scaling. Energy and multiplicity independence of the scaling function is established. The RHIC data confirm…
The impact of large-distance contributions on the behaviour of the slopes of the spin-non-flip and of the spin-flip amplitudes is analysed. It is shown that the long tail of the hadron potential in impact parameter space leads to a larger…
We discuss transverse spin effects caused by the spin-flip part of the Pomeron coupling with the proton. The predicted spin asymmetries in proton-proton scattering and QQ production in proton-proton and lepton-proton reactions are not small…
