We introduce a saturation model for photon-photon interactions, based on a QCD dipole picture of high energy scattering. The two-dipole cross-section is assumed to satisfy the saturation property. This pomeron-like contribution is…
We present a study of photon-photon scattering in the mass range $W_{\gamma\gamma} < 5$ GeV. We extend earlier calculations of this cross section for $W_{\gamma\gamma}>$ 5 GeV into the low mass range where photoproduction of the…
One of the outstanding problems in J/\psi physics is a systematic understanding of the differential photo-production cross section dsigma/dz(gamma + p -> J/psi + X), where z= E_psi/E_gamma in the proton rest frame. The theoretical…
We calculate the process $\gamma \gamma \rightarrow e^- \bar{\nu}_e u \bar{d}$ with the full set of Feynman diagrams. We consider different implementations of the $W$ width and different combinations of the photon polarisations. The results…

We present the NLO electroweak radiative corrections to the ee\gamma production in \gamma\gamma collision, which is an ideal channel for calibrating the beam luminosity of a Photon Linear Collider. We analyze the dependence of the total…
The dijet cross section as a function of both the fraction of the photon momentum participating in the hard process, x_\gamma^{OBS}, and the photon's virtuality, Q^2, is compared with the predictions of Herwig 5.9 for various photon parton…
We present measurements of the differential cross section dsigma/dpT_gamma for the inclusive production of a photon in association with a b-quark jet for photons with rapidities |y_gamma|< 1.0 and 30<pT_gamma <300 GeV, as well as for…
We show that the onset and rise of QCD mini-jets provide the dynamical mechanism behind the appearance of a soft edge in pp collisions around ISR energies and thus such a soft edge is built in our mini-jet model with soft gluon resummation.…
The cross section for coherent $\omega$-meson photoproduction off the deuteron has been measured for the first time as a function of the momentum transfer $t = (P_{\gamma}-P_{\omega})^2$ and photon energy $E_{\gamma}$ using the CLAS…
The reactions gamma-gamma to eta_c eta_c and gamma gamma to eta_c + X are discussed within the three gluon exchange model. We give predictions for the differential cross-sections and discuss feasibility of measuring these processes at LEP2…
In this talk I briefly summarize different models for $\sigma^{tot}_{2 \gamma}$ ($e^+e^- \to \gamma \gamma \to$ hadrons) and contrast model predictions with the data. I will then discuss the capability of the future $e^+e^-$ and $\gamma…
In this paper the two-photon interactions at high energies are investigated considering different approaches for the QCD dynamics. In particular, we calculate the $\gamma^* \gamma^*$ total cross section in different theoretical approches…
I present a new determination of the total cross section for proton-proton collisions from the recent Akeno results on absorption of the cosmic ray protons in the p-Air collisions. Extrapolation to the SSC energy suggests $\sigma_{tot}(p-p)…
The total cross sections of interaction of relativistic \pi^+\pi^- atom with ordinary atoms are obtained in the eikonal approach, which takes into consideration all multiphoton exchange processes. Contribution of these processes strongly…
We study nuclear structure effects on the transparency in high transverse momentum $(p,2p)$ and $(e,e'p)$ reactions. We show that in the DWIA-eikonal approximation, even when correlations are included, one can get a factorized expression…

Parton distribution functions are determined by the comparison of finite-order calculations with data. We briefly discuss the interplay of higher order corrections and PDF determinations, and the use of soft-gluon resummation in global…
