We briefly review the status of our understanding of hadron structure based on QCD. This includes the role of symmetries, especially chiral symmetry, and the insights provided by lattice QCD. The main focus is on baryon structure and…
The main motivation to investigate hard probes in heavy ion collisions is to do tomography, i.e. to infer medium properties from the in-medium modification of hard processes. Yet while the suppression of high P_T hadrons has been measured…
In this report I will give an experimental overview on nuclear stopping in hadron collisions, and relate observations to understanding of baryon transport. Baryon number transport is not only evidenced via net-proton distributions but also…
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,…
A model for the Pomeron at t=0 is suggested. It is based on the idea of a finite sum of ladder diagrams in QCD. Accordingly, the number of s-channel gluon rungs and correspondingly the powers of logarithms in the forward scattering…
I present from a historical perspective a logical progression of understanding, related to the composition of the deep interior of the Earth, that comes from fundamental discoveries and from discoveries of fundamental quantitative…
A traditional Regge model with a $Q^2$-independent Pomeron intercept closed (or equal) to one is constructed in order to describe the available data on the proton structure function. A Dipole Pomeron model which does not explicitly violate…
This report is based on a ten-week program on "Gluons and the quark sea at high-energies", which took place at the Institute for Nuclear Theory in Seattle in Fall 2010. The principal aim of the program was to develop and sharpen the science…
Open problems in the study of the nucleon structure using electromagnetic probes are discussed. The focus is on experimental aspects in the regime of strong interaction QCD. Significant progress in our understanding of the nucleon structure…
High energy hadron colliders have been the tools for discovery at the highest mass scales of the energy frontier from the SppS, to the Tevatron and now the LHC. This report reviews future hadron collider projects from the high luminosity…
This article presents a brief overview of the CMS experiment capabilities to study the hot and dense matter created in relativistic heavy-ion collisions. The CERN Large Hadron Collider will provide collisions of Pb nuclei at 5.5 TeV per…
In this paper we consider nucleus-nucleus and hadron-nucleus reactions in the kinematic region: $g A^{1/3} G_{3\pom} \exp\Lb \Delta Y\Rb \approx 1 G^2_{3\pom} \exp\Lb \Delta Y\Rb \approx 1 $, where $G_{3\pom}$ is the triple Pomeron…
This article is divided in three sections. In the first section we briefly review some high precision experiments on the Casimir force, underlying an important aspect of the analysis of the data. In the second section we discuss our recent…
This talk reviews the latest measurements of the proton, Pomeron and photon structure functions. These measurements, especially at low $x$ and/or low $Q^2$ lead to new insight into the picture of hadronic interactions.
The region of the small and large momentum transfer is examined from a view point of the contribution of the different parts of the scattering amplitude, soft and hard pomeron, and odderon contribution. The new model taking into account the…
Plenty of hadrons have been established experimentally, yet the nonperturbative nature of the strong interaction complicates a comprehensive understanding of their internal structure, particularly for exotic hadrons that extend beyond…
Spin effects in high energy fragmentation processes can provide us with important information on hadronization mechanisms and spin structure of hadrons. It can in particular give new tests to the hadronization models. In this talk, we make…
The study of high energy nuclear collisions has entered a new stage with RHIC; it therefore seems a good time to ask what we have learned from the experimental results obtained up to now. I recall what we had expected to find when the SPS…
The early stages of heavy ion collisions are dominated by high density systems of gluons that carry each a small fraction $x$ of the momenta of the colliding nucleons. A distinguishing feature of such systems is the phenomenon of…
Project Thermalization (Experiment SERP-E-190 at IHEP) is aimed to study the proton - proton interactions at 50 GeV with large number of secondary particles. In this report the experimentally measured topological cross sections are…
