We study the production, in Deep Inelastic Scattering at high energy, of a quark-gluon dijet induced by $t$-channel quark exchange with the target, which goes beyond the eikonal approximation. Throughout this study we follow the Color Glass…
A measurement is presented of dijet and 3-jet cross sections in low-|t| diffractive deep-inelastic scattering interactions of the type ep -> eXY, where the system X is separated by a large rapidity gap from a low-mass baryonic system Y.…
The large center of mass energy and increasing statistical precision for a wide range of hadronic final state observables at the HERA lepton-proton collider has provided a detailed testing ground for QCD dynamics. Fully flexible…
We discuss recent theoretical results on diffractive deeply inelastic scattering, focusing on the partonic picture of diffraction in configuration space and the predictions for the beta behavior and the scaling violation.
Color coherence effects play a crucial role in the description of jet evolution at collider experiments. It is well known that the stimulated gluon emission suffered by energetic jets traversing deconfined QCD matter is also affected by…
We discuss a formalism in which high-$p_T$ dijet rapidity gaps are identified by energy flow in the interjet region. When the gap energy, $Q_{\rm gap}$, is sufficiently large, the cross section may be computed from standard factorization…
In the framework of Anisotropic Chromo Dynamics, a non-perturbative model of QCD based on magnetic condensation in the vacuum, we develope a picture of the Pomeron. Within this model we are able to calculate the diffractive contribution to…
The new kind of events with a rapidity gap between two high-E_T jets, observed in high energy ppbar collisions at the Tevatron, is found to be well described by the exchange of a colour singlet gluon system in the BFKL framework. This…
Highlights are presented mainly from two recent measurements of the diffractive Deep Inelastic Scattering cross section at HERA. In the first, the process $ep\to eXp$ is studied by tagging the leading final state proton. In the second,…
Diffractive scattering involves exchange of a Pomeron to make a rapidity gap. It is normally assumed that to get a hard scattering in diffraction, one may treat the Pomeron as an ordinary particle, which has distributions of gluons and…

We discuss basic concepts and properties of diffractive phenomena in soft hadron collisions and in deep-inelastic scattering at low Bjorken-x. The paper is not a review of the rapidly developing field but presents an attempt to show in…
Within the colour dipole picture for deep inelastic scattering at small Bjorken $x$, we study the production of a pair of relatively hard jets via coherent diffraction. By "relatively hard" we mean that the transverse momenta of the two…
Different theoretical methods used for the description of diffractive processes in small-x deep inelastic scattering are reviewed. The semiclassical approach, where a partonic fluctuation of the incoming virtual photon scatters off a…
Heavy ion collisions at high energies can be used as an interesting way to recreate and study the medium of the quark-gluon plasma (QGP). We particularly investigate the jets produced in hard binary collisions and their interactions with a…
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…

We consider hard diffractive events in proton-proton collisions at the LHC, in which both protons escape the collision intact. In such double Pomeron exchange processes, we propose to measure dijets and photon-jet final states, and we show…
