We review the evolution of the studies of diffractive processes in the strong interaction over the last 60 years. First, we briefly outline the early developments of the theory based on analyticity and unitarity of the S-matrix, including…
The study of Generalised Parton Distributions (GPDs) promises to provide new knowl- edge of the structure of the nucleon, including, most notably, access to the total angular momentum of quarks within the nucleon. It can be difficult to…
