Multi-electron and multi-muon production have been measured at high transverse momentum in electron-proton collisions at HERA.Good overall agreement is found with the Standard Model predictions, dominated by photon-photon interactions.…
We present the color dipole phenomenology of diffractive photo- and electroproduction $\gamma^{*} N\to V(V') N$ of vector mesons ($V(1S) = \phi^0, \omega^0, \rho^0, J/\Psi, \Upsilon$) and their radial excitations ($V'(2S) = \phi', \omega',…
We develop the color dipole phenomenology of diffractive photo- and electroproduction $\gamma^{*}\,N\rightarrow V(V')\,N$ of light vector mesons ($V(1S) = \phi^0, \omega^0, \rho^0$) and their radial excitations ($V'(2S) = \phi', \omega',…
The diffraction dissociation of virtual photons is considered in the framework of conventional Regge theory. It is shown that the recent HERA data on large rapidity gap events can be successfully described in terms of the Pomeron structure…
We consider the reaction (gamma p) to (pi+ pi- p) at high energies. Our description includes dipion production via the resonances rho, omega, rho-prime and f2, and via non-resonant mechanisms. The calculation is based on a model of high…
It is shown that the recent results on photoproduction of vector mesons can be naturally explained by using a mass dependent pomeron trajectory.
Various jet observables in photoproduction are studied and compared to data from HERA. The feasibility of using a dijet sample for constraining the parton distributions in the photon is then studied. For the current data the experimental…
The reaction $\gamma p \rightarrow \omega p$ $(\omega \rightarrow \pi^+\pi^-\pi^0$ and $\pi^0\rightarrow\gamma\gamma)$ has been studied in $ep$ interactions using the ZEUS detector at photon-proton centre-of-mass energies between $70$ and…
We study the photoproduction of isolated prompt photons associated with hadron jets in the framework of the parton Reggeization approach. The cross section distributions in the transverse energies and pseudorapidities of the prompt photon…
In the last years much work has been done to learn about the properties of the $\rho$-meson in nuclear matter. In a calculation of the in-medium spectralfunction of the $\rho$ we find that it is strongly modified by baryonic resonances,…
We review some selected results of the tensor-pomeron and vector-odderon model of soft high-energy proton-proton scattering and central exclusive production of meson and baryon pairs in proton-proton collisions. We discuss the theoretical…
Results on \jpsi production in $e p$ interactionsin the H1 experiment at HERA are presented. The \jpsi mesons are produced by almost real photons ($Q^2\approx 0$) and detected via their leptonic decays. The data have been taken in 1994 and…
The background due to the direct diffractive dissociation of the photon into the $\pi^+\pi^-$-pair to the "elastic" diffractive $\rho^0$-meson production in electron-proton collisions is calculated. The amplitude for the background process…
The exclusive diffractive production of vector mesons and real photons in ep collisions has been studied at HERA in a wide kinematic range. Here the most recent experimental results are presented together with a Regge-type model and…
We investigate the possibility that the process of phi photoproduction may have a significant hard perturbative QCD component. This suggestion is based on a study of the energy dependence of the forward phi photoproduction cross section…
Soft pomeron fits reproduce all zero-Q2 data for light quarks, but run into problems at HERA for heavy mesons and for high Q2, and at the Tevatron for W diffractive production. I review the basic properties of the soft pomeron, and outline…
Exclusive production of light vector mesons in deep inelastic scattering is calculated at next-to-leading order in the dipole picture in the limit of high photon virtuality. The resulting expression is free of any divergences and suitable…
We confront saturation-based results for diffractive $\psi(2s)$ and $\rho$ production at HERA and $J/\psi$ photoproduction with all available data including recent ones from HERA, ALICE and LHCb, finding a good agreement. We show that the…
Systematic analysis of available data for $\omega$-meson photoproduction is given in frame of Regge theory. At photon energies above 20 GeV the $\gamma{+}p{\to}\omega{+}p$ reaction is entirely dominated by Pomeron exchange. However, it was…
A recently published soft Regge Dipole Pomeron model intended for all $x$ and $Q^2$ is proved to give a good agreement with (non fitted) recent HERA data from ZEUS (SVX95) on the protonstructure function $F_2^p(x,Q^2)$ at low $Q^2$ and low…
