Saturation and geometrical scaling (GS) of gluon distributions are a consequence of the non-linear evolution equations of QCD. We argue that in pp GS holds for the inelastic cross-section rather than for the multiplicity distributions. We…
The empirical scaling law, wherein the total photoabsorption cross section depends on the single variable eta=(Q^2+m_0^2)/Lambda^2(W^2), provides empirical evidence for saturation in the sense of sigma_{gamma* p}(W^2,Q^2)/sigma_{gamma…

We identify a length scale that simultaneously accounts for the observed proton-nucleus reaction cross section and diffraction peak in the proton elastic differential cross section. This scale is the nuclear radius, $a$, deduced from proton…
Using the leading twist approach (LTA) to nuclear shadowing, we calculate the ratios of diffractive and usual parton distributions for a heavy nucleus (Pb) and the proton, $R_{A/p}=(f_{i/A}^{D(3)}/f_{i/A})/(f_{i/p}^{D(3)}/f_{i/p})$, for…
