We consider the possible contribution of Odderon (Reggeon with alpha_(Odd)(0) similar to 1 and negative signature) exchange to the differences in the total cross sections of particle and antiparticle, to the ratios of real/imaginary parts…
We show that the weight functional for color sources in the classical theory of the Color Glass Condensate includes a term which generates Odderon excitations. Remarkably, the classical origin of these excitations can be traced to the…
We consider the first LHC data for pp collisions in the framework of Regge theory. The integral cross sections and inclusive densities of secondaries are determined by the Pomeron exchange, and we present the corresponding predictions for…
A new mechanism for hard diffraction based on the anomalous $f_1$ trajectory exchange, which we identify as the odd signature partner of the Pomeron, is suggested. We calculate the contribution of the $f_1$ exchange to elastic and…
The Odderon remains an elusive object, 33 years after its invention. The Odderon is now a fundamental object in QCD and CGC and it has to be found experimentally if QCD and CGC are right. In the present talk, we show how to find it at RHIC…
The elastic hadron-hadron scattering at high energies is one of the most fundamental subjects of all particle physics problems and yet is least understood in spite of many advances in quantum chromodynamics (QCD) at the conceptual level. We…
Constraints on the t-dependence of the hadronic scattering amplitude at asymptotic energies are derived by considering the exchange of the Pomeron, as a Regge pole, between off-shell gluons. Covariant reggeization ensures pure spin alpha…
The $t$-channel exchange of two gluons in a color singlet state represents the lowest order approximation to the Pomeron. This exchange mechanism is thought to also explain the formation of rapidity gaps in dijet events at the Tevatron. At…
The Odderon state in perturbative QCD is briefly reviewed. Recent calculations devoted to estimate the diffrative eta_c production at high energies from the leading known Odderon states are discussed.
We explore the possibility of observing Odderon exchange in proton--ion collisions at the LHC, via the ultraperipheral photoproduction of C-even mesons. As well as the signal, we consider in detail the principle backgrounds, due to…
Although the Odderon is an unambiguous prediction of Quantum Chromodynamics, its existence still was not confirmed experimentally. One of the processes where the Odderon contribution is expected to be dominant is the diffractive…
We discuss the definition and the energy evolution of scattering amplitudes with $C$-odd ("odderon") quantum numbers within the effective theory for the Color Glass Condensate (CGC) endowed with the functional, JIMWLK, evolution equation.…
When hadrons scatter at high energies, strong color fields, whose dynamics is described by quantum chromodynamics (QCD), are generated at the interaction point. If one represents these fields in terms of partons (quarks and gluons), the…
We show that the asymmetry in the fractional energy of charm versus anticharm jets produced in high energy diffractive photoproduction is sensitive to the interference of the Odderon $(C = -)$ and Pomeron $(C = +)$ exchange amplitudes in…
The up-down asymmetry in transversally polarized electron proton scattering is induced by the interference between one and two photon exchange amplitudes. Inelastic intermediate hadronic states (different from one-proton state) of the two…
The running coupling is introduced into the equation for the odderon via the bootstrap relation. It is shown that the previously found odderon state with a maximal intercept, which is constructed from antisymmetric pomeron wave function,…
The high energy proton-neutron charge exchange scattering reaction is studied in an effective hadron model for the energy range of s from 45.9 to 414.61 GeV*GeV. The main features of the observed differential cross section, the forward peak…

The nonequilibrium transfer of the energy between electrons of counter-propagating quasi-one-dimensional systems has been perturbatively calculated for edge channels in a two-dimensional system in the integer quantum Hall effect. The…
The possibility to use the exclusive $pp \to pp \phi$ and $pp \to pp \phi \phi$ reactions in identifying the odderon exchange is discussed. So far there is no unambiguous experimental evidence for the odderon, the charge conjugation $C =…
