Recent measurement of inclusive processes and hadronic final states in diffractive deep-inelastic scattering at HERA are used to investigate the QCD factorisation properties and study partonic structure of colour singlet exchange. Resolved…

An overview of DIS 2003 is given with a focus on small-x physics and the interrelationship between deep inelastic scattering and heavy ion physics which furnishes much of the basic information for understanding high-density QCD matter. In…

Motivated by recent research of Nikitin et al. (J.Phys.D vol. 49, 055301(2009)), we examine the effects of interatomic interactions on adatom surface diffusion. By using a mean-field approach in the random walk problem, we derive a…
We calculate the contribution from the $q \bar q g$ state production to the diffractive cross sections in deep inelastic scattering at high energy. The obtained cross section is finite by itself, and consists a part of the full…

Measurements of disoriented chiral condensates in heavy ion collisions at RHIC and the LHC can yield fundamental information on the nature of the QCD phase transition. I review theoretical efforts to understand the evolution of the…
We determine the diffractive scattering amplitude of a color-dipole on a nucleon using a non-perturbative model of QCD which contains only parameters taken from low-energy physics. This allows to relate specific features of the confinement…
