In this review we discuss a technique to compute and to sum a class of Feynman diagrams, and some of its applications. These are diagrams containing one or more energetic particles that suffer very little recoil in their interactions. When…
We perform a detailed analysis of the total inelastic cross-section for gamma*gamma* collisions. Different contributions coming from the quark box diagram, reggeons, the soft and hard pomeron are included. The QCD pomeron contribution…
The highlights of the Working Group 5B, Theory, are summarised. There has been reported impressive progresses in the study of BFKL Pomeron and Odderon dynamics. It turns out that the leading log approximation is not still a good one in the…
We propose the inclusive semi-hard production, in proton-proton collisions, of two bottom-flavored hadrons, as well as of a single bottom-flavored hadron accompanied by a light jet, as novel channels for the manifestation of stabilization…
The production in hadron-hadron collisions of jet pairs with large rapidity separation and comparable modest transverse momentum is, in principle, described by the perturbative QCD BFKL equation. The measurement of such jet pairs appears…
It is shown by numerical calculations that the convoluted QCD pomeron propagator in the external field created by a solution of the Balitsky-Kovchegov equation in the nuclear matter vanishes at high rapidities. This may open a possibility…
I explicitly calculate the anomalous dimensions and splitting functions governing the Q^2 evolution of the parton densities and structure functions which result from the running coupling BFKL equation at LO, i.e. I perform a resummation in…
We discuss the process $p+p\to h_1+h_2+X$, where the identified hadrons $h_1$ and $h_2$ have large transverse momenta and are produced in high-energy proton-proton collisions with a large rapidity gap between them. In this case the…
We suggest the inclusive detection at the LHC of a light charged hadron and of a jet widely separated in rapidity as a new probe channel for the study of the BFKL resummation. Predictions for cross section and azimuthal correlations, shaped…
We demonstrate that rapidity separated di-hadron spectra in high multiplicity proton-proton collisions at the LHC can be quantitatively described by a combination of BFKL and saturation dynamics. Based on these results, we predict the…
Unparticles as suggested recently by Georgi have surprising phenomenological implications, distinctive from any other new physics that we know of. But they must interact very feebly with ordinary matter to have avoided detection thus far.…
The contribution of the QCD pomeron to the processes: e+e- to e+e- J/psi J/psi and e+ e- to e+ e- hadrons (with tagged electrons) is discussed. We focus on reactions which occur via photon-photon collisions, with virtual photons coming from…
We describe the elements of the GLM model that successfully describes soft hadronic interactions at energies from ISR to LHC. This model is based on a single Pomeron with a large intercept $\Delta_{\pom}$ = 0.23 and slope $\alpha_{\pom}'$ =…
We present a model which describes proton scattering data from ISR to Tevatron energies, and which can be applied to collimation n high energy accelerators, such as the LHC and FCC. Collimators remove beam halo particles, so that they do…
We examine a model of hadronic diffractive scattering which interpolates between perturbative QCD and non-perturbative fits. We restrict the perturbative QCD resummation to the large transverse momentum region, and use a simple Regge-pole…
Existing data for large-$t$ $pp$ elastic-scattering differential cross-sections are energy-independent and behave as $t^{-8}$. This has been explained in terms of triple-gluon exchange, or alternatively through triple-singlet exchange. A…
Recent developments in soft hadronic interactions are reviewed. Emphasis it put on measurements of the proton structure at low x, photon structure, diffraction and exclusive processes such as vector-meson production and their interpretation…
The hard pomeron component needed to reproduce small-x data seems to be present in elastic scattering at moderate energy. If this is the case, it is likely that the total cross section at the LHC will be appreciably larger than previously…
To study diffractive photon production at HERA, we compute the projection of the virtual photon-photon impact-factor on the BFKL leading-order eigenfunctions E(n,nu) for non-zero transfer. This calculation supplements former ones performed…
The diffractive photon production at large momentum transfer and large energies is a probe of the parton dynamics of the diffractive exchange. In this paper we revisit the leading order (LO) BFKL equation approach for this process and…
