Monte Carlo generators which were tuned for energies up to that of the Tevatron, are found wanting when extended to LHC energies. We construct a model that satisfies the theoretical requisites of high energy soft interactions, based on two…
We consider the central exclusive production of high $E_T$ jets $pp\to p+(X+{\rm dijet})+p$. In particular we study the possible contamination of the purely exclusive signal by semi-exclusive production where no other secondaries are…
The hard pomeron first came to light in deep inelastic lepton scattering, but evidence that it contributes also to soft hadronic collisions is reinforced by the fact that it seems to obey a factorisation similar to that of other Regge…
The use of the differential gluon structure function of the proton ${\cal F}(x,Q^{2})$ introduced by Fadin, Kuraev and Lipatov in 1975 is called upon in many applications of small-x QCD. We report here the first determination of ${\cal…
We present a triple-Regge analysis of the available pp --> p + X high-energy data accounting for absorptive corrections. We describe a model for high-energy soft interactions which includes the whole set of multi-Pomeron (n --> m) vertices,…
A model for the Pomeron at t=0 is suggested. It is based on the idea of a finite sum of ladder diagrams in QCD. Accordingly, the number of s-channel gluon rungs and correspondingly the powers of logarithms in the forward scattering…
We show that perturbation theory provides two distinct mechanisms for the power like growth of hadronic cross sections at high energy. One, the leading BFKL effect is due to the growth of the parton density, and is characterized by the…
We investigate the form-factor dependence of Reggeized tensor Pomeron and Odderon exchanges in high-energy elastic $pp$ and $p\bar p$ scattering. The spin structure is implemented through explicit covariant spin-2 and spin-3 projectors,…
A detailed analysis of the existence of high energy secondary diffractive dips and structures in the extrapolations of the fits to the data is given. The existence of these dips and a fortiori their position is found to be rather…
Measurements of the proton structure function F_2 for 0.11 < Q^2 < 20000 GeV^2 and 1.2 X 10^-5 < x < 0.65 from ZEUS 1994-1997 measurements are presented. From ZEUS 1994 and 1995 F_2 data the slopes d(F_2)/d(ln Q^2) at fixed x and d(ln…
Electroproduction of $\pi^+$ above the resonance region is analyzed in the Regge model for $\pi+\rho$ exchanges. Importance of the roles of pion and proton form factors in the process is discussed in comparison with existing models of…
Using the QCD dipole picture of the BFKL pomeron, the gluon contribution to the cross-section for single diffractive dissociation in deep-inelastic high-energy scattering is calculated. The resulting contribution to the proton diffractive…
In the framework of our model of soft interactions at high energy based on CGC/saturation approach,we show that Bose-Einstein correlations of identical gluons lead to large values of $v_n$. We demonstrate how three dimensional scales of…
We discuss a constraint of conformal symmetry in the analysis of the pion form factor. The usual power-law behavior of the form factor obtained in the perturbative QCD analysis can also be attained by taking negligible quark masses in the…
A multidimensional extraction of the structure function ratio $\sigma_{LT'}/\sigma_{0}$ from the hard exclusive $\vec{e} p \to e^\prime n \pi^+$ reaction above the resonance region has been performed. The study was done based on beam-spin…
Understanding the internal structure of the proton-including its mass spectrum, electromagnetic and gravitational form factors, and mechanical properties-remains a central challenge in hadronic physics. While lattice QCD and experimental…
The spin structure function $g_1^p$ of the proton is studied in a two component framework, where the perturbative evolution of parton distributions and nonperturbative vector meson dominance model are used. We predict the $g_1^p$ asymmetric…
A simple model based on Regge approach is proposed for description of the central exclusive production (CEP) of the light tensor glueball lying on the Regge trajectory of the soft Pomeron.
Measurements of proton structure functions made in neutral and charged current interactions at HERA are discussed, covering four-momentum transfers Q^2 from about 0.5 GeV^2 to 30000 GeV^2. The results include the rise of the structure…
We present experimental evidences for the existence of a semi-hard scale in light hadrons. This includes the suppression of gluon radiation that is seen in high mass hadron diffraction; the weak energy dependence of hadronic total cross…
