We introduce soft colour interactions as a novel mechanism to understand the observed events with large rapidity gaps in $ep$ collisions at HERA. Colour exchanges between produced partons and colour-charges in the proton remnant modifies…
We propose a means of distinguishing between gluon- and quark-seeded systems that may in principle be measured in deep inelastic lepton scattering. As a particular application, we discuss those HERA data on deep inelastic $ep$ scattering…
Models based on soft colour exchanges to rearrange colour strings in the final state provide a general framework for both diffractive and non-diffractive events in ep and hadron-hadron collisions. We study two such models and find that they…

The success of recently proposed models for describing rapidity-gap events in DIS at HERA, in terms additional colour exchange between the struck system and the proton remnant in boson-gluon fusion events, are found to rely heavily on the…
An improved understanding of nonperturbative QCD can be obtained by the recently developed soft color interaction models. Their essence is the variation of color string-field topologies, giving a unified description of final states in high…
Soft colour exchange models give a unified description of both diffractive and non-diffractive events, such that e-p and p-pbar collider data with and without rapidity gaps are well reproduced. We show that these models also describe the…

This is a short review of the properties of electron proton interactions characterized by the presence of large rapidity gaps (LRG) in the measured hadronic final state as obtained by the ZEUS Collaboration at the HERA Collider. In the deep…
Color singlet two gluon exchange provides a perturbative model for the pomeron. This mechanism is thought to explain the production of rapidity gaps in hard dijet events at the Tevatron. It is shown that in $qQ$ scattering via two gluon…
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…
Diffractive deep inelastic scattering at HERA and diffractive W and jet production at the Tevatron are well described by soft colour exchange models. Their essence is the variation of colour string-field topologies giving both gap and…
The first measurement of diffractive processes in deep inelastic scattering at the HERA collider is analysed in terms of a "soft" pomeron exchange model. The partonic structure of the pomeron which emerges in this picture is determined…
Photon-proton ($\gamma p$) interactions with~$Q^2<10^{-2}$~GeV$^2$ and deep-inelastic scattering ($\gamma^* p$) interactions with photon virtualities $Q^2>5$~GeV$^2$ are studied at the high energy electron-proton collider HERA. The…
We present a novel Monte-Carlo implementation of dynamic colour screening via multiple exchanges of semi-soft gluons as a basic QCD mechanism to understand diffractive electron-proton scattering at the HERA collider. Based on the kinematics…
Results presented at the DIS97 workshop by the H1, ZEUS and E665 collaborations on processes yielding large rapidity gaps and energetic leading baryons are reviewed. A consistent picture begins to emerge in which diffractive processes…
The correspondence between the gluon density behavior of the color dipole picture and the two-Pomeron approach at low $x$ deep inelastic scattering is considered. For photon virtualities of $Q^{2}{\gtrsim}10~\mathrm{GeV}^{2}$, the results…
Central exclusive production in hadron-hadron collisions at high energies, for example p + p -> p + X + p, where the "+" represents a large rapidity gap, is a valuable process for spectroscopy of mesonic states X. At collider energies the…
We study quantum fluctuations of the nucleon's parton densities by combining QCD factorization for hard processes with the notion of cross section fluctuations in soft diffraction. The fluctuations of the small-x gluon density are related…
We consider the production of charm by real and virtual photons. Special attention is paid to diffractive charm production, which provides information on the gluonic content of the Pomeron. Our calculations are based on the gluon…
