We review the extension of the factorization formalism for perturbative QCD to soft initial- and final-state scattering associated with hard processes in nuclei.
An updated formulation of soft diffraction, compatible with $s$ and $t$ channel unitarity, is presented. Its consequent general soft scattering features at high energies are explored. The critical interplay between theory and data analysis…
Hadronic diffractive processes characterised by a hard scale (hard diffraction) contain a nontrivial interplay of hard and soft, nonperturbative interactions, which breaks down factorisation of short and long distances. On the contrary to…
Diffractive scattering involves exchange of a Pomeron to make a rapidity gap. It is normally assumed that to get a hard scattering in diffraction, one may treat the Pomeron as an ordinary particle, which has distributions of gluons and…
Hard scattering in a strongly absorptive regime requires a novel nonlinear k_t -- factorization. Here we discuss two recent developments: firstly the evaluation of radiative corrections to single particle spectra, and secondly an extension…
Here we discuss a regularized version of the factorization method for positive operators acting on a Hilbert Space. The factorization method is a qualitative reconstruction method that has been used to solve many inverse shape problems. In…

We review the extension of the factorization formalism of perturbative QCD to {\it coherent} soft rescattering associated with hard scattering in high energy nuclear collisions. We emphasize the ability to quantify high order corrections…

We study how factorization breaking changes when going from diffractive deep inelastic scattering to diffractive photoproduction of dijets. These processes offer a sensitive probe of the interplay of soft and hard mechanisms in QCD. We…
We describe diffractive deeply inelastic scattering in terms of diffractive parton distributions. We investigate these distributions in a hamiltonian formulation that emphasizes the spacetime picture of diffraction scattering. For hadronic…
We calculate and analize the ${\cal{O}}(\alpha_s)$ one-particle inclusive cross section in polarized deep inelastic lepton-hadron scattering, using dimensional regularization and the HVBM prescription for $\gamma_5$. We discuss the…

We describe diffractive hard processes in the framework of QCD factorization and discuss what one can learn from the study of hadronic systems with small transverse size.
Results on soft and hard diffraction are briefly reviewed and placed in a QCD perspective using a parton model approach. Issues addressed include factorization, scaling properties, universality of rapidity gap formation, and unitarity.…

We analyze the process of two-particle scattering with unstable particle in an intermediate state. It was shown that the cross-section can be represented in the universal factorized form for an arbitrary set of particles. Phenomenological…
