We calculate the total cross-section for $\gamma^* \gamma^*$ collisions and for the process $e^+ e^- \to e^+ e^- + hadrons$ with two tagged leptons assuming dominance of the QCD pomeron exchange. We solve the BFKL equation including the…
The reaction \gamma\gamma ---> J/Psi J/Psi is discussed assuming dominance of the QCD BFKL pomeron exchange. We give prediction for the cross-section of this process for LEP2 and TESLA energies. We solve the BFKL equation in the non-forward…
We perform a detailed analysis of the total inelastic cross-section for gamma*gamma* collisions. Different contributions coming from the quark box diagram, reggeons, the soft and hard pomeron are included. The QCD pomeron contribution…
The total cross section for scattering virtual photons at high energy is sensitive to pomeron physics. If the photons are sufficiently virtual, QCD perturbation theory applies, so that the reaction probes the short distance pomeron. We…
We briefly present the motivation for studying the processes mediated by the QCD pomeron at high energy e+e- colliders. We describe the behaviour of the cross-section for the reaction gamma gamma to J/psi J/psi obtained from the BFKL…
The contribution of the QCD Pomeron to the process AA -> AA J/Psi J/Psi is discussed. We focus on the photon-photon collision, with the quasi-real photon coming from the Weizsacker - Williams spectrum of the nuclei. We calculate the cross…
Based on the color dipole representation, we investigate consequences for the $\gamma^{*}\gamma^{*},\gamma^{*}\gamma$ scattering of the finding by Fadin, Kuraev and Lipatov that incorporation of asymptotic freedom into the BFKL equation…
A unified approach to total cross-sections, based on the QCD contribution to the rise with energy, is presented for the processes $pp$, $p{\bar p}$, $\gamma p, \gamma \gamma, e^+e^- \to hadrons$. For proton processes, a discussion of the…
Perturbative QCD predicts the behavior of scattering at high energies and fixed (sufficiently large) transferred momenta in terms of the BFKL pomeron (or short distance pomeron). We study the prospects for testing these predictions in…
The advent of a next linear $e^\pm e^-$ collider and back-scatterd laser beams will allow the study of a vast array of high energy processes of the Standard Model through the fusion of real and virtual photons and other gauge bosons. As…
We calculate the cross section for inclusive prompt photon production in $\gamma\gamma$ collisions, i.e. the reaction $e^+e^-\to \gamma \gamma \to \gamma X$, in next-to-leading order QCD. We show that at LEP2 energies this cross section is…
The interaction of virtual photons is investigated using the reaction e+e- -> e+e- hadrons based on data taken by the OPAL experiment at e+e- centre-of-mass energies sqrt(s_ee)=189-209 GeV, for W>5 GeV and at an average Q^2 of 17.9 GeV^2.…
We compute the total cross section as well as angular and energy distributions for process $e^+e^-\to\gamma\gamma\gamma$ with both unpolarized and polarized beams in the framework of noncommutative quantum electrodynamics (NCQED). The…
Soft diffractive cross sections in $pp$ (or $\bar pp$), $\pi p$ and $\gamma p$ collisions are calculated using QCD-motivated pomeron. The $s$-channel unitarization of the amplitude is performed by the eikonal approach, and in the framework…
We study the effects of non-commutative QED (NCQED) in fermion pair production, $\gamma + \gamma \to f + \bar{f}$ and Compton scattering, $e + \gamma \to e + \gamma$. Non-commutative geometries appear naturally in the context of…
In e+e- collisions the particle spectra at low momenta reflect the properties of the underlying "soft" QCD gluon bremsstrahlung: the particle density, in the limit p\to 0, becomes independent of the incoming energy \sqrt{s} and directly…
QCD corrections to the electroweak cross section of $\gamma\gamma\to ZZ$ at high energies and small scattering angles have been calculated. The dominant contributions are due to $t$-channel gluon exchange, i.e. photons dissociate into…
The pomeron-pomeron interaction is studied in the perturbative approach of BFKL-Bartels. The total pomeron-pomeron cross-section is proportional to $\alpha_{s}^{4}s^{\Delta}/\sqrt {t_{1}t_{2}}$ where $\sqrt{s}$ is the c.m. energy and…
We study the effects of non-commutative QED (NCQED) in fermion pair production, gamma + gamma -> f + bar{f} and Compton scattering, e + gamma -> e + gamma. Non-commutative geometries appear naturally in the context of string/M-theory and…
