Multi Pomeron interactions are the main source of high mass diffraction. Their role in high energy dynamics greatly influences the predictions for high energy cross sections and survival probabilities of hard diffraction channels, notably,…
Recent models of soft diffraction include a hard pomeron pole besides the usual soft term. Such models violate the black-disk limit around Tevatron energies, so that they need to be supplemented by a unitarisation scheme. Several such…
We briefly describe a model for soft diffraction. The model description of ISR, SppbarS and Tevatron data, and the predictions of the total, elastic, single and double diffractive cross sections at the LHC can be found in the original…
The low energy $J/\psi$ photoproduction cross-section has been studied on the basis of the Pomeron model. To incorporate the discrepancy between experimental data and the predictionns by the conventional models, i.e. the sum of the soft…
We study diffractive hard dijet production, with one or two rapidity gaps, at high energies. We emphasize that both hard and Regge factorization are broken in these processes. We show that a multi-Pomeron-exchange model for screening…
Hadron diffraction dissociation is considered in the dipole Pomeron model where the Pomeron is represented by a double pole in the J-plane. We find that unitarity is satisfied without decoupling of the triple Pomeron vertex. The reaction…
We present a study of associated jpsi + gamma production through double Pomeron exchange at energies reached at the Fermilab Tevatron and CERN LHC based on the Ingelman-Schlein model for hard diffractive scattering and the factorization…
Two distinct interactions of Pomerons should occur in dense multi-string events. Besides the usual triple Pomeron processes transitions to membraned cylinders can be expected to contribute in a significant way. They offer an efficient…
Hadron production in single and central diffraction dissociation is studied in a model which includes soft hadron interaction as controlled by a supercritical pomeron parametrization and hard diffraction. Within this model, particle…
We report measurements of the inclusive differential cross section for the single-diffractive reactions: p + pbar --> p + X and p + pbar --> X + pbar at sqrt(s) = 630 GeV, in the momentum transfer range, 0.8 < -t < 2.0 GeV^2 and final state…
We present predictions for the diffractive production of heavy quarks in deep-inelastic scattering and hadron-hadron collisions and for double diffractive dijet production in hadron-hadron collisions. With the assumption of hard scattering…
A brief review on the Dipole Pomeron model is given. The model not only describes data on hadron-hadron interactions, but also allows to describe data on the proton structure function with a $Q^2$ independent intercept. Moreover the chosen…
In the framework of our model (GLM) for soft interaction with $\alpha'_{\pom}(0)=0$, we propose a procedure based on Gribov's partonic interpretation of the Pomeron, which enables one to calculate the diffractive mass distributions in…
We consider proton diffraction dissociation in the dipole Pomeron model, where the Pomeron is represented by a double pole in the $J-$plane, and show that unitarity can be satisfied without decoupling of the triple Pomeron vertex.…
A further analysis of inelastic diffraction data at the ISR and SPS-Collider confirms the relatively flat s-independent pomeron trajectory in the high-|t| domain, 1-2 GeV^2, reported earlier by the UA8 Collaboration. At |t| = 1.5 GeV^2,…
We formulate a generalization of the Glauber formalism for hadron-nucleus and nucleus-nucleus collisions based on the Pomeron approach to high energy interactions. Our treatment is based on two physical assumptions (i.e. two small…
We present a study of diffractive associated jpsi + gamma production at the Fermilab Tevatron and LHC based on the Ingelman-Schlein model for hard diffractive scattering and the factorization formalism of NRQCD for quarkonia production. We…
We consider the central exclusive production of high $E_T$ jets $pp\to p+(X+{\rm dijet})+p$. In particular we study the possible contamination of the purely exclusive signal by semi-exclusive production where no other secondaries are…
The UA8 experiment previously reported the observation of jets in diffractive events containing leading protons (``hard diffraction''), which was interpreted as evidence for the partonic structure of an exchanged Reggeon, believed to be the…
At the Tevatron, the total p_bar-p cross-section has been measured by CDF at 546 GeV and 1.8 TeV, and by E710/E811 at 1.8 TeV. The two results at 1.8 TeV disagree by 2.6 standard deviations, introducing big uncertainties into extrapolations…
