A detailed analysis is presented of the diffractive deep-inelastic scattering process $ep\to eXY$, where $Y$ is a proton or a low mass proton excitation carrying a fraction $1 - \xpom > 0.95$ of the incident proton longitudinal momentum and…
We predict the cross-section for diffractive $\phi$ electroproduction within the dipole model, using a holographic meson wavefunction for the $\phi$. For the dipole cross-section, we use the Color Glass Condensate dipole model whose…
We calculate diffractive photo- and leptoproduction of $\rho$-, $\rho'$- and $\rho''$-mesons. The incoming photon dissociates into a $q\bar{q}$-dipole which scatters on the nucleon and transforms into a vector meson state. The scattering…
We review the application of perturbative QCD to diffractive processes. We introduce the two gluon exchange model to describe diffractive qq(bar) and qq(bar)g production in deep inelastic scattering. We study the triple Regge limit and…
We demonstrate that perturbative QCD allows one to calculate the absolute cross section of diffractive exclusive production of photons at large $Q^2$ at HERA, while the aligned jet model allows one to estimate the cross section for…
A simple relativistic model is suggested that elucidates qualitatively the quark-antiquark distribution within virtual photon. The diffractive hadroproduction in DIS initiated by highly virtual photon $\gamma ^{*}(Q^2)$ is discussed in more…
Recent measurements of the diffractive deep-inelastic cross section are used to extract diffractive parton densities of the proton. These are subsequently applied in models to predict the production of jets and open charm in the final…
We use perturbative QCD, beyond the leading $\ln Q^2$ approximation, to show how measurements of diffractive $J/\psi$ production at HERA can provide a sensitive probe of the gluon density of the proton at small values of Bjorken $x$. We…
We study jet final states in diffractive deep-inelastic scattering. We present the QCD factorization formula in terms of diffractive parton distributions and discuss its implementation in NLO Monte Carlo generators. We compute NLO…
We critically review the QCD predictions for the cross sections sigma_L and sigma_T for diffractive rho meson electroproduction in longitudinally and transversely polarised states in the HERA energy region. We show that both perturbative…
We describe a QCD based model which incorporates the main properties of the inclusive particle distributions expected for diffractive processes, including the diffractive dissociation at high energies. We study, in turn, the total cross…
In these lectures, a simple introduction to the phenomenon of diffraction in deep inelastic scattering and its theoretical description is given. While the main focus is on the diffractive structure function F_2^D, some issues in diffractive…
We calculate the cross section for q(\bar q)g-production in diffractive DIS with finite fermion masses and zero momentum transfer. The calculation is done in the leading log(1/x_p) approximation and is valid for the region of high…
Hard processes in diffractive deep-inelastic scattering can be described by a factorisation into parton-level subprocesses and diffractive parton distributions. In this framework, cross sections for inclusive dijet production in diffractive…
We calculate the contribution from the $q \bar q g$ state production to the diffractive cross sections in deep inelastic scattering at high energy. The obtained cross section is finite by itself and a part of the full next-to-leading order…
Using short distance QCD methods based on the operator product expansion, we calculate the $J/\psi$ photoproduction cross section in terms of the gluon distribution function of the nucleon. Comparing the result with data, we show that…
The elastic leptoproduction of $\phi$ measured by the H1 collaboration at HERA is described by a perturbative QCD model, based on open $s\bar{s}$ production and parton hadron duality, proposed by Martin et al. We observe that both the total…
The hadroproduction of lepton pairs with mass $Q$ and transverse momentum $Q_T$ can be described in perturbative QCD by the same partonic subprocesses as prompt photon production. We demonstrate that, like prompt photon production, lepton…
The recent data from H1 Collaboration on hadron multiplicity in diffractive DIS has been studied in the framework of perturbative QCD as a function of invariant diffractive mass. The formulas obtained explain the observed excess of particle…
The diffractive process $\gamma^*(Q^2) p\to V+X$ (where $V= \rho^0, \omega , \phi$ are the vector mesons, consisted of light quarks, $X$ represents the hadrons to that a proton dissociates) is studied. We consider the region of large…
