The role of spin degrees of freedom in high-energy hadron-hadron and lepton-hadron scattering is reviewed with emphasis on the dominant role of soft, diffractive, non-perturbative effects. Explicit models based on analyticity and Regge-pole…
In this paper, we find the t and x-evolution of deuteron structure function from DGLAP evolution equation of singlet structure function in leading order at small-x assuming the Regge behaviour of the singlet structure function at this limit…
We have recently presented a Regge description of pion-pion total cross sections valid above 1.4 GeV, consistent with the few existing experiments, factorization and crossing symmetry. In this note we show how it also describes a further…
A simple multipole Pomeron and Odderon model for elastic hadron scattering, reproducing the structure of the first and second diffraction cones is used to analyze $pp$ and $\bar{p}p$ scattering. The main emphasis is on the delicate and…
By using the concept of duality between direct channel resonances and Regge exchanges we relate the small- and large-$x$ behavior of the structure functions. We show that even a single resonance exhibits Bjorken scaling at large $Q^2$.
A model for shadowing in nuclear structure functions at small $x$ and small or moderate $Q^2$ is presented using the relation with diffraction that arises from Gribov's reggeon calculus. A reasonable description of the experimental data is…
We extend the MRS(A) set of parton distributions, which provides an up-to-date description of the structure of the proton probed by hard interactions, into the region of $Q^2$ below $5\ {\rm GeV}^2$. After physically-motivated…
In this article, we study the mass spectra of baryons containing two heavy quarks; charm-charm ($cc$) and bottom-charm ($bc$) with a light quark ($u,d,s$) within the framework of Regge phenomenology. With the assumption of linear Regge…
The amplitude for 4 interacting reggeized gluons is studied in the high-colour limit. The leading order amplitude is explicitly shown to reduce to a pair of reggeons, i.e to a single BFKL pomeron. The next-to-leading order diffractive…
For the first time, a systematic analysis of the high energy behavior of total and diffractive proton-proton cross sections is performed within the Reggeon Field Theory framework, based on the resummation of all significant contributions of…
We propose a simple method to calculate the pion form factor at not very large momentum transfers, which combines the technique of the QCD sum rules with the description of the pion in terms of the set of wave functions of increasing twist.…
We will explain how it is possible to link Regge theory with DGLAP evolution using a triple-pole pomeron model. We will first show that Regge theory can be used to constrain the initial condition for DGLAP evolution. We will then spell out…
A model, based on Gribov's Reggeon calculus, is proposed and applied to processes of soft diffraction at high energies. It is shown that by accounting for absorptive corrections for all legs of triple-Regge and loop diagrams a good…
We consider exclusive multi-peripheral production of four charged pions in proton-proton collisions at high energies with simultaneous exchange of three pomerons/reggeons. The amplitude(s) for the genuine $2 \to 6$ process are written in…
The proton-proton and proton-antiproton inelasticity profiles in the impact parameter display very interesting and sensitive features which cannot be deduced solely from the current large body of high-energy scattering data. In particular,…
The pion structure function is investigated in a simple model, where the pion and its constituent quark fields are coupled through the simplest pseudoscalar coupling. The imaginary part of the forward gamma* pi -> gamma* pi scattering…
We show that a triple-Regge parametrization of inclusive single diffraction agrees with the data in the following two domains: (a) xi > 0.03 at all t, (b) |t| > 1 GeV^2 at all xi. Since the triple-Regge parametrization fails when applied to…
We investigate the role of unitarization effects in virtual photon-proton (\gamma^*p) interactions at small x. The q\bar{q}-fluctuation of the initial photon is separated into a small distance and a large distance component and a model for…
