A model is presented based on a dipole picture with a hard and a soft pomeron. It is assumed that large dipoles couple to the soft pomeron and small dipoels couple to the hard pomeron. Most of the parameters of the model are predetermined…
In this work we calculate pomeron flux in the single diffraction processes. We consider two models: quasi-eikonal model and low constituent model. Both models give the pictures different from the traditional three-reggeon model. Successive…
We develop a formalism where the hard and soft pomeron contributions to high energy scattering arise as leading Regge poles of a single kernel in holographic QCD. The kernel is obtained using effective field theory inspired by Regge theory…
We consider simple-pole descriptions of soft elastic scattering for pp, pbar p, pi+ p, pi- p, K+ p and K- p. We work at t and s small enough for rescatterings to be neglected, and allow for the presence of a hard pomeron. After building and…
Hadronic diffractive processes characterised by a hard scale (hard diffraction) contain a nontrivial interplay of hard and soft, nonperturbative interactions, which breaks down factorisation of short and long distances. On the contrary to…
A brief review of the modern QCD theory of diffractive DIS is given. The recent progress has been remarkably rapid, all the principal predictions from the color dipole approach to diffraction - the $(Q^2+m_V^2)$ scaling, the pattern of…
Experimental results on diffraction from the Fermilab Tevatron collider obtained by the CDF experiment are reviewed and compared. We report on the diffractive structure function obtained from dijet production in the range $0<Q^2<10,000$…
Numerical results for the polaron dispersion are presented for an arbitrary number of space dimensions. Upper and lower bounds are calculated for the dispersion curves. They are rather close to each other in the cases of small…
The idea of diffractive processes with a hard scale involved, to resolve the underlying parton dynamics, was published 1985 and experimentally verified 1988. Today hard diffraction is an active research field with high-quality data and new…
We review the results of measurements on hard diffractive processes performed by the CDF Collaboration and report preliminary CDF results on two soft diffractive processes with a leading antiproton and a rapidity gap in addition to that…
In a recent experiment, the out-of-plane surface susceptibility of a single-layer two-dimensional atom crystal in the visible spectrum has been measured. This susceptibility gives a measurable contribution to the reflectivity of…
A phenomenological renormalization scheme for hadronic diffraction is proposed, which achieves unitarization without the need for "screening corrections". Predictions for diffractive photoproduction cross sections at HERA are presented and…
We propose a new measurement to be performed at the Tevatron which can be decisive to distinguish between Pomeron-based and soft color interaction models of hard diffractive scattering.
We suggest that the pseudo-rapidity cut dependence of diffractive deep-inelastic scattering events at HERA may provide a sensitive test of models of diffraction. A comparison with the experimental cross section shows that the…
Recent results by the authors on proton diffractive dissociation (single, double and central) in the low-mass resonance region with emphasis on the LHC kinematics are reviewed and updated. Based on the previous ideas that the contribution…
We develop the pQCD description of the diffraction dissociation (DD) of longitudinal photons. We demonstrate that the longitudinal diffractive structure function does not factor into the flux of pomerons and the partonic structure function…
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…
One of the more interesting developments from recent collider experiments is the finding that hadronic total cross sections as well as elastic cross s ections can be described by the exchange of a "soft Pomeron" pole in the near-forward…
Using the QCD dipole picture of the hard BFKL pomeron, we derive the general expressions of the elastic and inelastic components of the proton diffractive structure functions. We obtain a good 7 parameter fit (including a secondary reggeon…
It is shown that the dipole pomeron model of single diffraction dissociation -- contrary to the case of the supercritical pomeron -- is compatible with the inequality $\sigma^{SD}\leq\sigma^{tot}$, imposed by unitarity, provided the triple…
