This is a review of the existing ideas in modelling the transition from the photoproduction ($Q^2 = 0$) to the deep inelastic scattering region. The available data of the proton structure function are analyzed from the point of view of the…
A model for deeply virtual Compton scattering, based on analytical light-cone hadron wave functions is presented and studied at energies currently accessible at Jefferson Laboratory, DESY, and beyond. It is shown that perpendicular vector…
A phenomenological model of hard diffraction is presented, in which the structure of the Pomeron is derived from the structure of the parent hadron. Predictions for diffractive deep inelastic scattering are compared with data.
Color charge correlators provide fundamental information about the proton structure. In this Letter, we evaluate numerically two-point color charge correlations in a proton on the light cone including the next-to-leading order corrections…
Within the resolved Pomeron model of hard diffractive scattering, we compute prompt photon production in double-Pomeron-exchange events in proton-proton collisions. Using specific kinematical constraints chosen according to the acceptances…
A new generation of experiments is expected to shed light on the elusive parton structure of the bound proton. One of the most promising directions is incoherent deeply virtual Compton scattering, which can provide a tomographic view of the…
We consider hard diffractive events in proton-proton collisions at the LHC, in which both protons escape the collision intact. In such double Pomeron exchange processes, we propose to measure dijets and photon-jet final states, and we show…
High-energy virtual photon-virtual photon scattering can be viewed as interaction of small size color dipoles from the beam and target photons, which makes $\gamma^{*}\gamma^{*}, \gamma^{*}\gamma$ scattering at high energies (LEP, LEP200 &…
A saturation model for the total gamma-gamma and gamma*-gamma* cross-sections and for the real photon structure function F_2^gamma(x,Q^2) is described. The model is based on a QCD dipole picture of high energy scattering. The two-dipole…
We discuss two aspects of the color dipole picture of high energy photon-proton scattering. First we present bounds on various ratios of deep inelastic structure functions resulting from the dipole picture that, together with the measured…
We derive the expression for the nonperturbative coupling of a hadron to two external currents from its underlying structure in QCD. Microscopically, the action of each current is resolved to a coupling with dressed quarks. The Lorentz…
Recent results on the Deeply Virtual Compton Scattering (DVCS) and prompt photon productions from H1 and ZEUS experiments on the $ep$ collider HERA are presented. A new DVCS cross section measurements of the H1 Collaboration, for photon…
We analyzed the presently available experimental data on nucleon electromagnetic form factors within a multipole model based on dispersion relations. A good fit of the data is achieved by considering the coefficients of the multipole…
The differential cross section of exclusive diffractive vector meson production in electron proton collisions carries important information on the geometric structure of the proton. More specifically, the coherent cross section as a…
Hard, or high transverse momentum, pion photoproduction can be a tool for probing the parton structure of the beam and target. We discuss the perturbative and soft processes that contribute, and show how regions where perturbative processes…
A model based on Reggeon field theory is used for the description of the photo- and electroproduction of vector mesons ($\rho^0, \omega, \phi, J /\psi$) on the proton. Its main feature is the dependence of the Pomeron intercept on the…
We extend the dipole model for virtual photon - proton scattering to include the resolved photon component explicitly. The parameters of the resolved photon component are taken from the literature, while the parameters of the dipole-nucleon…
We emphasize the sizeable effects of absorption on high-energy `soft' processes, and, hence, the necessity to include multi-Pomeron-Pomeron interactions in the usual multi-channel eikonal description. We present a model which includes a…
The central role of soft nucleon matrix elements in reactions of high energy electrons or real photons with nucleons is emphasized. These soft matrix elements are described in terms of skewed parton distributions. Their connections to…
A simple model for the photoproduction of kaons off protons with a lambda hyperon in the final state is presented. In a quark model, the interaction is modelled by the pair-creation of the (anti-) strange quarks in the final state which…
