We pursue the hypothesis that the events with a large rapidity gap, observed at HERA, reflect the scattering of electrons off lumps of wee partons inside the proton. A simple scaling behaviour is predicted for the diffractive structure…
In this paper the experimental status of unpolarised structure functions is reviewed. In particular the latest results from the NMC, E665, CCFR, and HERA experiments are discussed. Emphasis is put on the fixed-target experiments, which…
In this talk, the recent data on diffractive electron-proton interactions at HERA are reviewed. The question of diffraction as a soft or hard process is addressed and discussed in the context of inclusive diffraction, vector meson…
The contribution to diffraction dissociation of virtual photons due to quasi-elastic scattering of the $q$-$\bar q$ component is calculated in the framework of the QCD dipole picture. Both longitudinal and transverse components of the…
The impact of nonlinear effects in the diffractive observables that will be measured in future electron-ion collisions is investigated. We present, for the first time, the predictions for the diffractive structure function and reduced cross…
We present a brief status report of our broad and systematic study of QCD-instantons at HERA.
We argue that diffractive DIS, dominated by soft interactions, is probably the unique process which allows us to observe unitarity effects in DIS. Guided by a close analogy between the diffractive dissociation of a highly virtual photon and…
An overview is presented of the experimental talks given at the XXXVIIth Rencontres de Moriond QCD session.
Review of selected fundamental topics on the interaction between phase transformations, fracture, and other structural changes in inelastic materials is presented. It mostly focuses on the concepts developed in the author's group over last…
This paper summarizes the contributions to the experimental sessions on polarized lepton nucleon scattering at the DIS 99 workshop. Results are reported about the flavor decomposition of the quark polarization, a first direct measurement of…
Disentangle the hard and soft dynamics in diffractive DIS is one of the main open questions of the strong interactions. We propose the study of the logarithmic slope in $Q^2$ of the diffractive structure function as a potential observable…
Diffraction patterns of electrons are believed to resemble those of electromagnetic waves (EMW). I performed a series of experiments invoked to show that the periodicity of peaks in the diffraction diagram of electrons is concerned with the…
The fundamental relations in the dynamics of single diffraction dissociation and elastic scattering at high energies are discussed.
We overview progress in the development of general-purpose CTEQ PDFs. The preprint is based on four talks presented by H.-L. Lai and P. Nadolsky at the 17th International Workshop on Deep Inelastic Scattering and Related Subjects (DIS…

The interest in the study of diffractive meson production is discussed. The description of diffraction within Regge phenomenology is presented, and the QCD-based understanding of diffractive processes is given. Central production is…
Measurements of diffraction in electron-proton collisions are presented. All measured processes which occur through the exchange of a virtual photon (DIS) are consistent with a universal structure. For the diffractive photoproduction of…
We present a simple method to include the effects of diffraction into the description of a light-atomic ensemble quantum interface in the context of collective variables. Carrying out a scattering calculation we single out the purely…
Experimental results on hadronic soft and hard diffractive processes are reviewed with emphasis on aspects of the data that point to the underlying QCD mechanism for diffraction. Diffractive differential cross sections are shown to be…
