Recent data on diffractive photoproduction of dijets are analyzed within the framework of fracture functions and paying special attention to the consequences of the use of different rapidity gap definitions in order to identify diffractive…
Some general comments are made on the evolution of this series of workshops and on some features of this particular Workshop without attempting to summarize all the talks presented.
This is a brief review of the theoretical status of Higgs production at the LHC in the Standard Model, with an emphasis on the recent developments and computations. In particular, I focus on both inclusive and differential cross sections…
A measurement is presented of diffractive dijet production in deep-inelastic scattering (DIS) interactions at HERA of the type ep-->eXY, where the X system is separated by a large rapidity gap from a low-mass leading baryonic system Y. The…
We consider single-diffractive (SD) Higgs production in association with heavy flavour in proton-proton collisions at the LHC. The main focus of our study is a reliable estimate of SD/inclusive ratio, not a precision computation of the…
We present the general rules for double-Reggeon production of objects with different spins and parities. The existing experimental information on resonance production in these central exclusive diffractive processes is discussed. The…
We show that the addition of detectors to tag the outgoing forward protons, at the LHC, will significantly enlarge the potential of studying New Physics. A topical example is Higgs production by the exclusive double-diffractive process, pp…
This paper presents a summary of the theoretical presentations to the international workshop "Diffraction 2006". The range of topics covered during the workshop was quite broad and this summary is therefore somewhat selective covering…
We have modified the HERWIG event generator to incorporate diffractive interactions. All standard HERWIG hard subprocesses are available.
We discuss the contribution of so-called semi-enhanced hard rescattering corrections to central exclusive diffractive Higgs production, pp -> p+H+p, at the LHC. We present arguments to show that these corrections are small. We confirm these…
Predictions for Higgs production with processes of the type $e^+ e^- \rightarrow \mu{\bar \mu}\;b\bar b $ at LEP~2 and the NLC are calculated. Short analytical formulae describe the double differential distribution in the invariant masses…
Results presented in perturbative QCD are reviewed. The topics discussed include: - struction functions, - heavy flavour production, - direct photon production, - inclusive production at LHC/SSC, - small $x$ physics, - QCD jets and -…
Using a recently proposed factorization hypothesis for semi-inclusive hard processes in QCD, one can study, in principle, the diffractive production of the Standard Model Higgs boson at LHC using only, as input, $ep$ diffractive…
We briefly summarise the main results presented at the IPPP Workshop on Multiparticle Production in QCD Jets, held in Durham in December 2001.
In diffractive interactions of protons or nuclei a violent collision can occur that leaves the forward going particle completely intact -with probability determined by the structure of the proton or nucleus. At very high energies these…
We summarize the main results of the Spin Physics Working Group Sessions at DIS 2010, the XVIII International Workshop on Deep Inelastic Scattering and Related Subjects.
We calculate Higgs production cross sections at a muon collider in the Two Higgs Doublet Model of type II. The most interesting productions channels are mu^- mu^+ --> h^0 Z^0, H^0 Z^0, H^- H^+, A^0 Z^0 and H^{-/+} W^{+/-}. The last channel…
Higgs boson production at future colliders within the Standard Model and its minimal supersymmetric extension is reviewed. The predictions for decay rates and production cross sections are presented including all relevant higher-order…
In the prospect of diffractive Higgs production at the LHC collider, we give an extensive study of Higgs boson, dijet, diphoton and dilepton production at hadronic colliders via diffraction at both hadron vertices. Our model, based on non…
We derive expressions for the gluon production cross sections in the single diffractive proton-nucleus scattering and DIS processes in a quasi-classical approximation. The resulting cross sections include the effects of all multiple…
