In this paper we investigate the saturation physics in diffractive deep inelastic electron-ion scattering. We estimate the energy and nuclear dependence of the ratio $\sigma^{diff}/\sigma^{tot}$ and predict the $x_{\pom}$ and $\beta$…
We discuss the inclusive dilepton cross section for proton (quark)-nucleus collisions at high energies in the very forward rapidity region. Starting from the calculation in the quasi-classical approximation, we include low-x evolution…
We show that the data on $\gamma p$ and $\gamma\gamma$ interactions can be derived from the $pp$ and $\bar p p$ forward scattering amplitudes using vector meson dominance and the additive quark model. The nucleon-nucleon data are…
We extract the deep inelastic scattering cross-sections ratio $R= \sigma _L/\sigma _T$ in the range $10^{-4} \leq x \leq 10^{-1}$ from $F_2$ HERA data using very simple relations based on perturbative QCD. The result depends on only one…
In this letter we complement previous studies on exclusive vector meson photoproduction in hadronic collisions presenting a comprehensive analysis of the $t$ - spectrum measured in exclusive $\rho$ and $J/\Psi$ photoproduction in $pA$…
DIS data from HERA show a striking regularity as \sigma^{\gamma^* p} is a function of the ratio \tau=Q^2/Q_s^2(x) only. The scaling function shows a break at \tau ~ 1, which has been taken as an indication for saturation. However, besides…
The effects of the first nonlinear corrections to the DGLAP equations are studied in light of the HERA data. Saturation limits are determined in the DGLAP+GLRMQ approach for the free proton and for the Pb nucleus.
Dispersive corrections to the total cross section for high-energy scattering from a heavy nucleus are calculated using a matrix model, based on the triple-Pomeron behavior of diffractive scattering from a single nucleon, for the cross…
We present predictions for charged hadron production and Lambda polarization in p-p and p-Pb collisions at the LHC using the saturation inspired DHJ model for the dipole cross section in the extended geometric scaling region.
A global event shape analysis of the multihadronic final states observed in neutral current deep inelastic scattering events with a large rapidity gap with respect to the proton direction is presented. The analysis is performed in the range…
Following recent predictions that the geometric scaling properties of deep inelastic scattering data in inclusive gamma*-p collisions are expected also in exclusive diffractive processes, we investigate the diffractive production of vector…
The objectives of my talk are to provide a very brief introduction to diffractive photoprocesses in general and the colour dipole model in particular; and to comment on possible gluon saturation effects at HERA and beyond.
Phenomenological models of the dipole cross section that enters in the description of for instance deep inelastic scattering at very high energies have had considerable success in describing the available small-x data in both the saturation…
We investigate possible signatures of gluon saturation using forward $p+A \to j+j+X$ di-jet production processes at the Large Hadron Collider. In the forward rapidity region, this is a highly asymmetric process where partons with large…
Through an analysis of diffractive vector meson production, we show that the proton appears quite dense to a small size probe at present HERA energies. This means that saturation effects are already important.
It is argued that the expected turn-down in $x- Q^2$ of the cross sections (structure functions $F_2(x,Q^2)$), assumed to result from the saturation of parton densities in the nucleon, is related to a phase transition from the (almost)…
Geometric scaling is well confirmed for transverse momentum distributions observed in proton-proton collisions at LHC energies. We introduced multiplicity dependence on a saturation momentum of the geometrical scaling, assuming the scaling…
Data from the HERA collider experiments, H1 and ZEUS, have been fundamental to the rapid recent development of our understanding of the partonic composition of the proton and of QCD. This report focuses on inclusive measurements of neutral…
The saturation momentum seeing in the nuclear infinite momentum frame is directly related to transverse momentum broadening of partons propagating through the medium in the nuclear rest frame. Calculation of broadening within the color…
Few composite exponential models for the differential cross section are proposed to analyse the proton-proton ($pp$) elastic scattering at several energies. These proposed models are fitted to the data for $pp$ elastic differential cross…
