We investigate small-x effects in forward-jet production at HERA in the two-hard-scale region kT ~ Q>>Lambda_QCD. We show that, despite describing different energy regimes, both a BFKL parametrization and saturation parametrizations…
In the framework of the minimal supersymmetric standard model and the $R$-parity breaking model, we investigate various production processes of the supersymmetric partner at HERA energies. Our emphasis is paid upon the scalar top quark, the…
The production of the initial state of the QGP in very high-energy $AA$ collisions is discussed within the framework of perturbative QCD and saturation. The next-to-leading order computation of the transverse energy of minijets is reviewed.…
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…
New properties of the multiplicity distributions predicted by higher order QCD and their physical origin are discussed briefly. Several studies which can be performed at HERA are proposed.
In the recent experiments like DIS at HERA or the heavy-ion experiments at RHIC, and also in expected LHC at CERN, the number of involved partons is very large, due to the high energy and/or the high number of participants of those…
Deep inelastic electron proton scattering at HERA II will allow precise studies of QCD and stringent tests of physics beyond the standard model. We discuss these two aspects of DIS with emphasis on the regime of high gluon densities at…
These notes are a summary of our efforts to answer the question in the title. Our answer is in the affirmative as: (i) HERA data indicate a large value of the gluon structure function; (ii) no contradictions with the asymptotic predictions…
Selected aspects of photoproduction in ep scattering at the HERA collider, studied with the ZEUS detector, are presented. The results are interpreted in the formalism of Vector Dominance Model, Regge theory and perturbative Quantum…

Properties of the hadronic final state in photoproduction events with large transverse energy are studied at the electron-proton collider HERA. Distributions of the transverse energy, jets and underlying event energy are compared to…
These days, as high energy particle colliders become unavailable for testing speculative theoretical ideas, physicists are looking to other environments that may provide extreme conditions where theory confronts physical reality. One such…
Measurement of the distribution of hadronic energy in the final state in deeply inelastic electron scattering at HERA can provide a good test of our understanding of perturbative QCD. For this purpose, we consider the energy distribution…
A measurement of the inclusive cross-section for the photoproduction of protons in the central fragmentation region at HERA is presented. The measured cross-section is compared with the prediction of the PYTHIA MC model. The obtained value…
Hard diffractive production of di-jets in the Tevatron and HERA are explored. It is argued that a consistent pQCD description of these data can be attained after s-channel unitarity re-scattering screening corrections are incorporated in…
We investigate an event excess in the reaction $e^+p \to e^+ X$ with large $x$ and high $Q^2$ observed at HERA and show that the events could naturally be interpreted as a signature of the production of the scalar top quarks (stops) in a…
New experimental data from HERA explore the region of very small x and small and moderate $Q^2$. We study the role of unitarity corrections in the description of these data. For that, we propose a model separating the small and large…
A study has been made of the physics interest and feasibility of experiments with nuclear beams in HERA. It is shown that such experiments widen considerably the horizon for probing QCD compared to that from free nucleon targets. In…

These notes are a summary of our predictions for the new THERA project, related to deep inelastic scattering in the region of ultra low $x$ ($x \to 10^{-7}$). We collect here predictions that satisfy two criteria (i) they do not depend on…
