We present microscopic QCD calculation of the cross section of diffractive DIS and of the partonic structure of the pomeron from the dipole approach to the generalized BFKL pomeron. We show that the pomeron can not be treated as a particle…
Experimental results on hadronic soft and hard diffractive processes are reviewed with emphasis on aspects of the data that point to the underlying QCD mechanism for diffraction. Diffractive differential cross sections are shown to be…
It is pointed out that the recent data on charge fluctuations observed in heavy ion collisions are compatible with production of a system of weakly correlated constituent quarks and antiquarks.
In addition to the gauge charges, a new charge degree of freedom is found in the deconfined phase in the lattice Ising gauge theory. While applying to the hydrogen-bonded ferroelectrics, the new charge is essentially the electric charge,…
I discuss advances in the determination of strange, charm, and bottom quark parton distribution functions obtained in the CTEQ6.5 and CTEQ6.6 global analyses. These results affect electroweak precision observables and certain new physics…
String theory has long ago been initiated by the quest for a theoretical explanation of the observed high-energy ``Regge behaviour'' of strong interaction amplitudes, but this 35-years-old puzzle is still unsoved. We discuss how modern…
The ZEUS experiment has measured charm production in diffractive DIS and in photoproduction. The data are in agreement with perturbative QCD calculations based on various parameterisations of diffractive parton distribution functions. The…
Diffractive production of heavy flavors is calculated within the light-cone dipole approach. Novel leading twist mechanisms are proposed, which involve both short and long transverse distances inside the incoming hadron. Nevertheless, the…
The logarithmic slope of the diffractive structure function is a potential observable scanning the hard and soft contributions in diffraction, allowing to disentangle the QCD dynamics. We report our calculations concerning this quantity, in…

Spin-charge separation is known to be broken in many physically interesting one-dimensional (1D) and quasi-1D systems with spin-orbit interaction because of which spin and charge degrees of freedom are mixed in collective excitations. Mixed…
Charged excitations are electronic transitions that involve a change in the total charge of a molecule or material. Understanding the properties and reactivity of charged species requires insights from theoretical calculations that can…

Quark-quark double scattering in eA DIS and its contribution to quark and anti-quark fragmentation functions are investigated with the generalized factorization of the relevant twist-four processes in pQCD. It is shown that the resulting…
The large rapidity gap events, observed at HERA, have changed considerably our physical picture of deep inelastic scattering during the past years. We review the present theoretical understanding of diffractive DIS with emphasis on the…
Tailored optical excitations can steer a system along non-equilibrium pathways to metastable states with specific structural or electronic properties. The light-induced hidden state of 1T-TaS$_{2}$, with its strongly enhanced conductivity…
