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 $\nu W_2$…
We derive closed expressions for the mean and variance of the (mini-)jet multiplicity distribution in hard scattering processes at low x. Here (mini-)jets are defined as those due to initial-state radiation of gluons with transverse momenta…
It is argued considering multiple production in the deep inelastic scattering kinematics that the very high multiplicity events are extremely sensitive to the low-x partons density.
The A dependence of the production of hadrons in inelastic muon scattering and of the production of dimuons in high $Q^2$ proton interactions are simply related. Feynman x distributions and z scaling distributions in nuclei are compared…
At very high energies, in the infinite momentum frame and in light cone gauge, a hard scale proportional to the high parton density arises in QCD. In an effective theory of QCD at small $x$, this scale is of order $\alpha_S\mu$, where $\mu$…
We investigate the production of a quark-antiquark pair in diffractive photon- proton scattering, approximating soft pomeron exchange by the exchange of two nonperturbative gluons. In deep inelastic scattering at HERA, events with two jets…
Recent measurements of multijet production in neutral current deep inelastic ep scattering at HERA are presented. Emphasis is put on parton dynamics at low x.
An analysis of minijet production from the hard pomeron with a running coupling constant is performed. Two supercritical pomerons found in the numerical study are taken into account. The calculated inclusive jet production rate is finite at…
When studying the production of minijets and transverse energy flow in high energy hadron-hadron or nucleus-nucleus collisions, two essential points have to be taken into account. First, one has to account for the virtuality of the…
Mini-jets, created by perturbative hard QCD collisions at moderate energies, can represent a significant portion of the total multiplicity of a heavy-ion collision event. Since their transverse momenta are initially larger than the typical…
Multiparton interactions modify the high energy hadronic cross section to produce minijets with a rapidity gap in the distribution of secondaries. At Tevatron energy the correction to the single scattering term is large for transverse…
We consider the inclusive cross section for jet production with large transverse momentum in deep-inelastic scattering. This process has been proposed as a probe of small-x physics, particularly the measurement of `hot spots' inside the…
We present predictions of jet rates in deep inelastic scattering at small x to leading-logarithmic order in x, including all sub-leading logarithms of Q^2/m_R^2 where m_R is the transverse momentum scale at which jets are resolved. We give…
High energy hadronic interactions can produce a final state characterized by minijets separated by a large gap in the rapidity distribution of the produced secondary particles. We discuss the process by keeping into account the possibility…
Minijet production in hadronic and nuclear collisions through a BFKL pomeron ladder is studied for the energies of the future LHC heavy-ion collisions. We use unintegrated gluon densities compatible with the small-$x$ increase of parton…
We investigate the Q^2 evolution of parton distributions at small x values, recently obtained in the case of soft initial conditions. The results are in excellent agreement with deep inelastic scattering experimental data from HERA.
The tensor-pomeron model is applied to low-x deep-inelastic lepton-nucleon scattering and photoproduction. We consider c.m. energies in the range 6 - 318 GeV and Q^2 < 50 GeV^2. In addition to the soft tensor pomeron, which has proven quite…
We apply the tensor-pomeron model to small-$x$ deep-inelastic lepton-proton scattering and photoproduction. Our model includes a soft and a hard tensor pomeron as well as a reggeon contribution. Data with c.m. energies $6 < \sqrt{s} < 318$…
The contribution of pomeron fusion to the cross section of $\eta$ and $\eta'$ productions in double-diffractive scattering has been calculated within the Donnachie-Landshoff model of pomeron. It is shown that the double pomeron exchange…
