The LHC energies are those at which the asymptotic regime in hadron-hadron diffractive collisions ($pp,\pi p,\pi\pi$) might be switched on. Based on results of the Dakhno-Nikonov eikonal model which is a generalization of the Good-Walker…
A Dyson-Schwinger-based model of pomeron exchange is employed to calculate diffractive rho-, phi- and J/psi-meson electroproduction cross sections. It is shown that the magnitude of the current-quark mass m_f of the quark and antiquark…

A formalism for hadron production at high \pt in heavy-ion collisions has been developed such that all partons hadronize by recombination. The fragmentation of a hard parton is accounted for by the recombination of shower partons that it…

Few composite exponential models for the differential cross section are proposed to analyse the proton-proton ($pp$) elastic scattering at several energies. These proposed models are fitted to the data for $pp$ elastic differential cross…
Color singlet two gluon exchange provides a perturbative model for the pomeron. This mechanism is thought to explain the production of rapidity gaps in hard dijet events at the Tevatron. It is shown that in $qQ$ scattering via two gluon…
