We discuss our model for soft colour interactions and present results on the diffractive structure function $F_2^D(\beta,x_\pom,Q^2)$ and inclusive transverse energy flows, which agree with available HERA data.
The electron-proton collider HERA at DESY opened the door for the study of diffraction in real and virtual photon-proton scattering at center-of-mass energies W up to 250 GeV and for large negative mass squared -Q^2 of the virtual photon up…
The structure of the hadronic final state in deep inelastic scattering at HERA is studied on the level of the Monte Carlo event generator. Special emphasis is given to the colour coherence phenomenon in the current fragmentation region. It…
Until the mystery of confinement is understood from the first principles, so called `soft physics' remains an important area of research, providing valuable information on underlying dynamics of strong interactions at long distances. In…
We demonstrate that perturbative QCD allows one to calculate the absolute cross section of diffractive exclusive production of photons at large $Q^2$ at HERA, while the aligned jet model allows one to estimate the cross section for…
At HERA, the large flux of almost real photons accompanying the electron beam leads to the copious photoproduction of jets. Regions of small momentum fractions $x$ of the incoming particles are explored, where the density of partons is…

Inclusive jet cross sections for events with a large rapidity gap with respect to the proton direction from the reaction $ep \rightarrow jet \; + \; X$ with quasi-real photons have been measured with the ZEUS detector. The cross sections…

We study various conceivable photoproduction reactions in a polarized ep collider mode of HERA with respect to their sensitivity to the proton's polarized gluon distribution. A special emphasis is put on the `resolved' part of the cross…

We successfully describe the HERA-data on diffractive deep inelastic scattering using a saturation model which has been applied in our earlier analysis of the inclusive $ep$-scattering data. No further parameters are needed. Saturation…
