The Impact-Parameter dependent Color Glass Condensate (b-CGC) and Saturation (IP-Sat) dipole models incorporate key features of small-x physics properties and match smoothly to the perturbative QCD regime at large $Q^2$ for a given $x$.…
Dipole models based on various saturation scenarios provide reasonable fits to small-x DIS inclusive, diffractive and exclusive data from HERA. Proton un-integrated gluon distributions extracted from such fits are employed in a…
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.
We analyse the newest diffractive deep inelastic scattering data from HERA using the dipole model approach. We find a reasonable good agreement between the predictions and the data although the region of small values of a kinematic variable…
We analyse, within a dipole model, the final, inclusive HERA DIS cross section data in the low $x$ region, using fully correlated errors. We show, that these highest precision data are very well described within the dipole model framework…
Recent measurement of inclusive processes and hadronic final states in diffractive deep-inelastic scattering at HERA are used to investigate the QCD factorisation properties and study partonic structure of colour singlet exchange. Resolved…
We present a simultaneous analysis, within an impact parameter dependent saturated dipole model, of exclusive diffractive vector meson (J/psi, phi and rho) production, deeply virtual Compton scattering and the total gamma* p cross section…
We present a description of inclusive and diffractive structure functions in DIS at small $x$, using a model based on high energy factorization. In this model the two processes have physical interpretation in terms of the virtual photon…
We examine HERA data with a view of determining whether unique signs of saturation can be identified. Concentrating on two channels the logarithmic slope of $F_{2}$, and the production of $J/\Psi$, which are sensitive to the behaviour of…
We propose a new description of inclusive diffraction in deep inelastic scattering (DIS). The diffractive structure functions are expressed in the dipole picture and contain heavy-quark contributions. The dipole scattering amplitude, a…
In a previous paper (arXiv:1011.1895), we showed that saturation models, constrained by e+p HERA data on inclusive and diffractive cross-sections, are in good agreement with p+p data at LHC in the soft sector. Particularly impressive was…
We discuss two different models for the impact parameter dependent dipole cross section: one based on DGLAP evolution and the other inspired by the Balitsky-Kovchegov equation. The parameters are determined from fits to data on the total…
We investigate saturation effects in $ep$ scattering as well as in ultraperipheral $p$A and AA collisions at small $x$ with four variants of the impact parameter dependent color dipole model: with and without gluon saturation and with and…
Low-x physics is reviewed, with particular emphasis on searches for deviations from GLAP evolution of the parton densities. Although there are several intriguing indications, both in HERA and Tevatron data, as yet there is no unambiguous…
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 evidence from HERA for parton saturation, and other low-$x$ effects beyond the conventional DGLAP formalism, is recalled and critically reviewed in the light of new data and analyses presented at the conference.
We review recent results on diffraction at HERA and discuss their interpretation in the perturbative and non-perturbative regimes.
Highlights selected from recent measurements of colour-singlet exchange processes at HERA are summarised. Particular emphasis is placed on energy and momentum transfer dependences and the decomposition of the data into an expansion in Regge…
We confront saturation-based results for diffractive $\psi(2s)$ and $\rho$ production at HERA and $J/\psi$ photoproduction with all available data including recent ones from HERA, ALICE and LHCb, finding a good agreement. We show that the…
I investigate the theoretical uncertainties on the predictions for the longitudinal structure function. I compare the predictions using fixed-order perturbative QCD, higher twist corrections, small-x resummations and the dipole picture. I…
