The Proton Radius Puzzle refers to the ~7{\sigma} discrepancy that exists between the proton charge radius determined from muonic hydrogen and that determined from electronic hydrogen spectroscopy and electron-proton scattering. One…
We review the parton model and the Regge approach to the QCD description of the deep-inelastic $ep$ scattering at the small Bjorken variable $x$ and demonstrate their relation with the DGLAP and BFKL evolution equations. It is shown, that…
We review the present data on high-energy, spin-dependent photoabsorption. We find a strong isotriplet term in $(\sigma_A - \sigma_P)$ which persists from $Q^2 \sim 0.25$GeV$^2$ to high $Q^2$ polarised deep inelastic scattering. For $Q^2…
A model of a three Pomeron contribution to high energy elastic $pp$ and $\bar p p$ scattering is proposed. The data are well described for all momenta ($0.01\le |t|\le 14. GeV^2$) and energies ($8.\le\sqrt{s}\le 1800. GeV$) ($\chi^2/{\rm…
Recent $HERA$ data on the photoproduction of vector mesons are analysed within a "soft", dipole pomeron model. We argued that the data on $\sigma^{\gamma\rightarrow J/\psi}_{el}$ is consistent with a soft pomeron, the apparent rapid…
We consider the differential and total cross sections for proton-proton and proton-antiproton scattering in the Regge regime from the point of view of string dual models of QCD. We argue that the form factor which appears in the…
Systematic differences exist between values of the proton's electric form factors in the low-$Q^2$ region extracted by different experimental and theoretical groups, though they are all making use of basically the same electron-proton…
In this paper we develop an approach to soft scattering processes at high energies,which is based on two mechanisms: Good-Walker mechanism for low mass diffractionand multi-Pomeron interactions for high mass diffraction. The pricipal idea,…
The "triple-Regge" analysis of subleading Reggeon contributions to the diffractive structure function in DIS at HERA is presented. The recently published data allow to estimate the only free parameter of the analysis related to the ratio of…
In last few years the experimental evidence of charmed mesons is increasing remarkably. In the present work we systematically studied the $D$ meson by employing Regge phenomenology. By assuming the existence of the quasilinear Regge…
We review the features of the pomeron in the S-matrix theory and in quantum field theory. We extend those general properties to the pomeron of closed bosonic string theory in a Minkowskian background. We compute the couplings of the pomeron…
We present an updated extraction of the proton electromagnetic form factor ratio, mu_p G_E/G_M, at low Q^2. The form factors are sensitive to the spatial distribution of the proton, and precise measurements can be used to constrain models…
We apply a recently developed dispersive formalism to calculate the Regge trajectories of the $f_2(1270)$ and $f_2'(1525)$ mesons. Trajectories are calculated, not fitted to a family of resonances. Assuming that these spin-2 resonances can…
We develop the pQCD description of diffraction excitation of heavy flavours in DIS and we derive the analytic formulas for the mass spectrum in leading log$m_f^{2}$. The result illustrates nicely non-factorization properties of the QCD…
Results from a phenomenological analysis for diffractive hadroproduction of heavy flavors at high energies are reported. Diffractive production of charm, bottom and top are calculated using Regge factorization, taking into account recent…

The forward elastic amplitude for scattering of real and weakly virtual photons is studied in the framework of the theory of reggeized gluons, with large $N_{c}$ and a running coupling constant introduced in the manner which preserves the…
One year ago, we presented a new approach to treat hadronic interactions for the initial stage of nuclear collisions. It is an effective theory based on the Gribov-Regge formalism, where the internal structure of the Pomerons at high…
The Reggeon field theory in zero transverse dimensions is investigated. Two versions of the theory are considered: one that allows at most triple pomeron interactions and the other that embodies an additional 2-->2 quartic Reggeon coupling.…
