In these proceedings, I shall review the basic concepts of perturbative QCD in its high-energy limit. I shall concentrate on the approach to the unitarity limit, usually referred to as saturation, as well as on the gluon-number fluctuations…
High-energy nucleon total cross sections are related to low-x DIS structure functions by using the additive quark model.
I review some of the results presented in the working group on diffraction at DIS97, with a particular emphasis on the theory of diffractive hard scattering.
This is a short write-up of lectures at UK Theory Institute, Swansea UK, Sept.99; and XVII School ``QCD: Perturbative or Non-perturbative?'' Lisbon,Portugal, Oct.99. The covered topic include (i) discussion of the scales at which…
Recent developments in the theory and experiment of QCD hard scattering are described.
We present a model based on the concept of saturation for small $Q^2$ and small $x$. With only three parameters we achieve a good description of all Deep Inelastic Scattering data below $x=0.01$. This includes a consistent treatment of…
The different phases of QCD at finite temperature and density lead to interesting effects in cosmology and astrophysics. In this work I review some aspects of the cosmological QCD transition and of astrophysics at high baryon density.
The talk is an introduction into diquark condensation phenomena which occur in QCD at high energy density. They are driven by instantons and instanton-antiinstanton pairs (or ``molecules''), which generate attraction in some qq channels. A…
In this paper I review the theoretical progresses in studying the diffractive DIS in the colour--dipole approach.
Summary and outlook presented at the 9th International Conference on the Structure of Baryons (BARYONS 2002), Jefferson Lab, March 3-8, 2002
This contribution to the Proceedings is based on the talk given at the Conference on Birth of the Universe and Fundamental Physics, Rome, May 18-21, 1994. Some selected topics of the subject are reviewed: Models of Primordial Fluctuations;…
A concise review of the experimental and phenomenological progress in high-energy heavy-ion physics over the past few years is presented. Emphasis is put on measurements at BNL-RHIC and CERN-SPS which provide information on fundamental…
At very high energies or small values of Bjorken x, the density of partons, per unit transverse area, in hadronic wavefunctions becomes very large leading to a saturation of partonic distributions. When the scale corresponding to the…
This talk is a brief summary of some theoretical issues in the field of hot and dense QCD matter and ultra-relativistic heavy ion collisions.
Current and future experimental studies of the high-energy limit of QCD, dominated by non-linear gluon dynamics in the low-x sector of the hadron wavefunctions, are presented. Results at HERA (proton) and RHIC (nucleus) pointing to the…
This paper constitutes a presentation of work in progress at a discussion session of the conference Dense ionic fluids Faraday Discussion, 8-10 July 2024, London, and is published on pages 293-295 in Ref. [Faraday Discuss. 2024, volume 253,…
This conference has brought together many of the world's `cosmographers', particularly those focussed on the mapping nearby large-scale structures. Not surprisingly, numerous portrayals of the Local Cosmic Web and its characteristics have…
Summary of the XIth International Conference on Elastic and Diffractive Scattering in Chateau de Blois, France, May 15 - 20, 2005, summarizing both theoretical and experimental presentations and discussions.
I give an outline and some discussion of the results presented during the hadronic final states parallel sessions of the meeting, and some opinions about the current state of play and future directions in this area.
Three colour photometry on CCD frames in the Special Area SpA23 provides a deep probe of the galactic disc in a low absorption window towards the anticenter. Magnitudes to better than 10% at V = 25 and B-V colour down to V = 23 have been…
