In this talk I address three topics related to the shape of hadrons: 1. The Lorentz contraction of bound states. Few dedicated studies of this exist - I describe a recent calculation for ordinary atoms (positronium). 2. Does the…
The ultrahigh energy neutrino cross section is reviewed. Experimental results from HERA electron-proton and positron-proton scattering have yielded new information about the small x behavior of the parton distribution functions. We compare…
To settle the question whether the growth with energy is universal for different hadronic total cross-sections, we present results from theoretical models for pion-proton, proton-proton and proton-antiproton total cross-sections. We show…
In these lectures, I shall discuss small x physics and the consequences of high gluon density which arises as x decreases. I argue that an understanding of this problem would lead to knowledge of the high energy asymptotics of hadronic…
Contribution of simplest loops for hadron-nucleus scattering cross-sections is studied in the Local Reggeon Field Theory with a supercritical pomeron. It is shown that inside the nucleus the supercritical pomeron transforms into a…

The analytic continuation of the operator product expansion of the scattering amplitude allows to compute the heavy-quarkonium hadron total cross section. The energy dependence of the Upsilon and Upsilon' cross sections with a proton is…
Soft pomeron exchange at high energy includes minijet production at central rapidity values. This predicts copious production of minijets in deep inelastic scattering at small $x$, which is closely related to the fact that $\nu W_2$…
Results on soft and hard diffraction in $pp$ and $\bar pp$ collisions are reviewed with emphasis on factorization and scaling properties of differential cross sections. While conventional factorization breaks down at high energies, a…
A parton-model description of high-energy hadronic interactions in the presence of Lorentz violation is presented. This approach is used to study lepton-hadron and hadron-hadron interactions at large momentum transfer. Cross sections for…

The measurements of the hadron-hadron total cross sections are the first measurements performed when a new hadron accelerator opens up a new energy region; the measurements were made as function of the incoming beam momentum or c.m. energy…
In this short review paper, we discuss some of the recent advances in the field of parton fragmentation processes into hadrons as well as their possible modifications in QCD media. Hadron production data in e+e-, deep inelastic scattering…
For a long time people made the mistake of thinking the proton was understood. New experiments, ranging from form factors to deeply virtual Compton scattering, promise a new era of highly informative studies. Among the controversial topics…
