Regge models for proton structure function with and without a hard Pomeron contribution are compared with all available data in the region $W>3$ GeV, $Q^{2}\leq 3000$ GeV$^{2}$ and $x<0.75$. It is shown that the data do not support a hard…
A comparative phenomenological analysis of Regge models with and without a hard Pomeron component is performed using a common set of recently updated data. It is shown that the data at small $x$ do not indicate explicitly the presence of…
Regge theory provides a very simple and economical description of data for (i) the proton structure function with x<0.07 and all available Q^2 values, (ii) the charm structure function, and (iii) gamma p --> J/psi p. The data are all in…
A recently published soft Regge Dipole Pomeron model intended for all $x$ and $Q^2$ is proved to give a good agreement with (non fitted) recent HERA data from ZEUS (SVX95) on the protonstructure function $F_2^p(x,Q^2)$ at low $Q^2$ and low…
New structure-function data are in excellent agreement with the existence of a hard pomeron, with intercept about 1.4. It gives a very economical description of the data. Having fixed 2 parameters from the data for the real-photon cross…
A fit is made to the data for the proton structure function up to Q^2=10 GeV^2, including the real gamma p total cross-section. It is economical and simple, and its form is motivated by physical principles. It is extrapolated down to very…
Regge theory provides an excellent description of small-$x$ structure-function data from $Q^2=0$ up to the highest available values. The large-$Q^2$ data should also be described by perturbative QCD: the two descriptions must agree in the…
Hard single diffractive processes are studied within the framework of the triple--Pomeron approximation. Using a Pomeron structure function motivated by Regge--theory we obtain parton distribution functions which do not obey momentum sum…
We consider the differential and total cross sections for proton-proton and proton-antiproton scattering in the Regge regime from the point of view of string dual models of QCD. We argue that the form factor which appears in the…
We propose a QCD-inspired two-component Pomeron form which gives an excellent description of the proton-proton, pi-proton, kaon-proton, gamma-proton and gamma-gamma total cross sections. Our fit has a better CHI2/dof for a smaller number of…
The gluon distribution is dominated by the hard pomeron at small $x$ and all $Q^2$, with no soft-pomeron contribution. This describes well not only the DGLAP evolution of the hard-pomeron part of $F_2(x,Q^2)$, but also charm photoproduction…
The hard pomeron first came to light in deep inelastic lepton scattering, but evidence that it contributes also to soft hadronic collisions is reinforced by the fact that it seems to obey a factorisation similar to that of other Regge…
We perform a global fit to the inclusive structure function considering a QCD inspired model describing the ep scattering. In lines of a two Pomeron approach, the structure function F_2 has a hard piece given by the model and the remaining…
Contrary to what has been often claimed in the literature, we clarify that the hard photon-gluon cross section $\gg_{\rm hard}(x)$ in polarized deep inelastic scattering calculated in the gauge-invariant factorization scheme does {\it not}…
The CKMT model describing the nucleon structure function $F_2(x,Q^2)$ in the framework of conventional Regge theory with smooth soft-hard pomeron is modified. Smooth soft-hard non-vacuum reggeon dependence on incoming photon virtuality…
A possibility to study Regge and factorized parameterizations of generalized parton distributions in hard electroproduction of $\rho^0$ on the proton is considered. For that the dependences of the differential cross sections on the…
We present a preliminary report on the determination of the intercepts and couplings of the soft pomeron and of the rho/omega and f/a trajectories from the largest data set available for all total cross sections and real parts of the…
Measurements of the diffractive structure function, $F_2^D$, of the proton at HERA are used to extract the partonic structure of the Pomeron. Regge Factorization is tested and is found to describe well the existing data within the selected…
In many ways the pomeron is like the photon, but there are important differences. Factorisation allows us to define a pomeron structure function, even though the pomeron is not a particle. Although we have a model for the light-quark…
We present an updated extraction of the proton electromagnetic form factor ratio, mu_p G_E/G_M, at low Q^2. The form factors are sensitive to the spatial distribution of the proton, and precise measurements can be used to constrain models…
