The pp polarization data confirm the presence of a diffractive-like (Pomeron) contribution in the spin-flip amplitude. The extrapolation to RHIC energies does not appear very promising.
The LHC has released precise measurements of elastic proton-proton scattering that provide a unique constraint on the asymptotic behavior of the scattering amplitude at high energies. Recent reanalyses of part of these data indicate that…
The search for events containing isolated leptons and missing transverse momentum produced in ep collisions is performed individually and in a common phase space with the H1 and ZEUS detectors at HERA. The combined H1 and ZEUS data sample…
A model of a three Pomeron contribution to high energy elastic $pp$ and $\bar p p$ scattering is proposed. The data are well described for all momenta ($0.01\le |t|\le 14. GeV^2$) and energies ($8.\le\sqrt{s}\le 1800. GeV$) ($\chi^2/{\rm…
Necessary conditions for separability are most easily expressed in the computational basis, while sufficient conditions are most conveniently expressed in the spin basis. We use the Hadamard matrix to define the relationship between these…
Saturation of the Froissart-Martin unitarity bound that the total cross sections increase like log2(s/s_0) appears to be confirmed. Due to this statement, the B log2(s/s_0) was assumed to extend the universal rise of all the total hadronic…
New sufficient conditions for representation of a function of several variables as an absolutely convergent Fourier integral are obtained in the paper.
The contribution of both inclusive and exclusive cross-section data from HERA to our knowledge of parton distribution functions is reviewed and future prospects are outlined.
There now exist compact indexes that can efficiently list all the occurrences of a pattern in a dataset consisting of thousands of genomes, or even all the occurrences of all the pattern's maximal exact matches (MEMs) with respect to the…
The proton diffractive structure function $F_2^{D(3)}$ measured in the H1 and ZEUS experiments at HERA are analysed in terms of perturbative QCD in the perspective of the QCD extrapolation to the Tevatron and the LHC. It is shown that both…
We provide compelling evidence that all Fermat primes were already known to Fermat.
Elastic scattering amplitudes dominated by the Pomeron singularity which obey the principal unitarity bounds at high energies are constructed and analyzed. Confronting the models of double and triple (at $t=0$) Pomeron pole (supplemented by…
We discuss polarized proton-positron scattering in the context of the excess of large $Q^2$ events at HERA. We define and estimate a polarized asymmetry to examine two scenarios, the contact interaction and the stop scenario with broken…
In many ways the pomeron is like the photon, but there are important differences. Factorisation allows us to define a pomeron structure function, even though the pomeron is not a particle. Although we have a model for the light-quark…
We update the constraints on two-Higgs-doublet models (2HDMs) focusing on the parameter space relevant to explain the present muon $g$$-$$2$ anomaly, $\Delta a_{\mu}$, in four different types of models, type I, II, "lepton specific" (or X)…
We recall the main properties of inclusive particle distributions expected for Pomeron-proton and Pomeron-Pomeron interactions. Due to the small size of the Pomeron we expect larger transverse momenta of secondaries and a smaller…
A recently developed quantum Monte Carlo approach to the Holstein model with one electron [PRB 69, 024301 (2004)] is extended to two and three dimensional lattices. A moderate sign problem occurs, which is found to diminish with increasing…
Let $(\mathcal{H}_k, \mathcal{H}_{\ell})$ be a pair of Hilbert function spaces with kernels $k, \ell$. In a 2005 paper, Shimorin showed that a certain factorization condition on $(k, \ell)$ yields a commutant lifting theorem for multipliers…
Pomeron loop effects (gluon number fluctuations) on deep inelastic scattering (DIS) in the fixed coupling case are studied. We show that the description of the HERA data for the inclusive structure function $F_2(x,Q^2)$ for $x\leq10^{-2}$…
We present a detailed comparison of a variety of predictions for diffractive light vector meson production with the data collected at the HERA collider. All our calculations are performed within a dipole model framework and make use of…
