The single-inclusive cross-section for jet production in deep inelastic e-p scattering (DIS) at HERA is measured for photon virtualities Q^2 between 5 and 100 GeV^2, differentially in Q^2, in transverse jet energy E_T, in E_T^2/Q^2 and in…

Diffractive hard scattering is interpreted as the effect of soft gluon exchanges between the emerging energetic quarks and the nucleon's color field, resulting in an overall color singlet exchange. Summing multiple gluon exchanges to all…
We focus on a holographic approach to DIS at small-x in high energy where scattering is dominated by exchanging a Reggeized Graviton in $AdS_5$. We emphasize the importance of confinement, which corresponds to a deformation of $AdS_5$…
