Soft diffractive cross sections in $pp$ (or $\bar pp$), $\pi p$ and $\gamma p$ collisions are calculated using QCD-motivated pomeron. The $s$-channel unitarization of the amplitude is performed by the eikonal approach, and in the framework…

We investigate the high-energy behavior of the elastic scattering amplitude using the eikonal and $U$-matrix unitarization schemes. This work extends the analysis in [1] by exploring the sensitivity of the Pomeron and Odderon parameters to…
Coherence phenomena, and the non-universality of parton structure of the effective Pomeron are explained. New hard phenomena directly calculable in QCD such as diffractive electroproduction of states with $M^2\ll Q^2$ as well as new options…
The main goal of the paper is to show that we can treat the $1/N_c$ QCD corrections in the Pomeron calculus. We develop the one dimensional model which is a simplification of the QCD approach that includes $\pom \to 2 \pom$, $2 \pom \to…
One of the more interesting developments from recent collider experiments is the finding that hadronic total cross sections as well as elastic cross s ections can be described by the exchange of a "soft Pomeron" pole in the near-forward…
We have investigated several models of Pomeron and Odderon contributions to high energy elastic $pp$ and $\bar p p$ scattering. The questions we address concern their role in this field, the behavior of the scattering amplitude (or of the…
