In this review, we first discuss the perspectives concerning a better determination of the proton structure in terms of quarks and gluons at LHC after describing the results coming from HERA and Tevatron. In a second part of the review, we…
Recent measurements of inclusive and semi-inclusive deep inelastic scattering in electron-proton collisions at HERA are reviewed. These measurements are used to determine the parton distribution functions (PDFs) of the proton, a necessary…
I discuss the theoretical understanding of key measurements at HERA and their relevance for physics at LHC, focusing on recent developments for structure functions and for diffraction.
The transverse momentum transfer correlation is introduced as a sensitive probe that can be used to discriminate between models for parton dynamics in low-x deep-inelastic scattering. Expectations for uncorrelated models and models with…
The prospects for physics at the LHC are discussed, starting with the foretaste, preparation (and perhaps scoop) provided by the Tevatron, in particular, and then continuing through the successive phases of LHC operation. These include the…
These lectures include an introduction to the partonic description of the proton, the photon and the `colour singlet', as seen in inclusive and semi-inclusive DIS, in $e^+e^-$ collisions, and in diffractive processes, respectively. Their…
In this short report, we discuss the Jet Physics results and perspectives at HERA, Tevatron and LHC.
This talk discusses recent progress in some topics relevant for deep inelastic scattering at small x. We discuss first differences and similarities between conventional collinear factorization and the dipole picture of deep inelastic…
The long standing mystery of smallness of diffractive dissociation of hadrons to large effective masses (the Pomeron-proton cross section is only 2 mb) witnesses that the gluonic clouds of valence quarks are so small (r_0=0.3fm) that soft…
I review the status of theoretical calculations relevant for electroweak physics at the Tevatron and LHC and discuss future directions. I also give a brief overview of current electroweak data and discuss future expectations.
I offer brief observations on matters discussed at the XIV International Conference on Hadron Spectroscopy and explore prospects for hadron physics.
The HERA data at large $Q^2$ and small-$x$ investigate large distances on the light-cone. At such large distances the scattered quarks can maintain their colour identity by polarizing the vacuum as they transfer energy to it. We calculate…
When colliding, the high energy hadrons can either produce new particles or scatter elastically without change of their quantum numbers and other particles produced. Namely elastic scatterings of hadrons are considered in this paper. The…
The present status of high energy cosmic ray interaction models is discussed, concentrating on recent model updates inspired by the data from Run 1 of the LHC. A special attention is devoted to the remaining differences in the model…
The fundamental relations in the dynamics of single diffraction dissociation and elastic scattering at high energies are discussed.
Results on soft and hard diffraction obtained by the CDF Collaboration at the Fermilab Tevatron proton-antiproton Collider are reviewed with emphasis on aspects of the data that point to the underlying QCD mechanism for diffraction. The…
I discuss a variety of issues in the physics of excited bottom and charmed hadrons. Recent developments in spectroscopy, strong decays, and production in fragmentation and weak decays are reviewed.
In these lectures, we present and discuss the most recent results on inclusive diffraction at the Tevatron collider and give the prospects at the LHC. We also describe the search for exclusive events at the Tevatron. Of special interest is…
Free-electron laser hard X-ray light sources can provide high fluence, femtosecond pulses, enabling the time-resolved probing of structural dynamics and elementary relaxation processes in molecules. Traditional X-ray elastic scattering from…
We consider a multi-channel correction accounting for intermediate transitions inside an equivalence class of diffractive states. Our formalism of 'diffractive limit' provides an excellent description of elastic and inclusive inelastic…
