We argue that hadron production in coherent diffraction of proton on a heavy nucleus provides a very sensitive probe of the low-x QCD dynamics. This process probes the BFKL dynamics in proton and the non-linear gluon evolution in nucleus.…

We consider the phenomenon of regge cut splitting, corresponding to the BFKL pomeron into an infinite sequence of regge-poles, which happens when one takes into account the running of QCD coupling with scale. The first members of this…
Applications of perturbative QCD to hard exclusive electroproduction processes in the Bjorken limit at small invariant momentum transfer t bring in a new type of parton distributions which have hybrid properties, resembling both the parton…
We study the azimuthal correlation of hadron pairs produced in hadron-hadron collisions in the framework of perturbative QCD. We concentrate our attention on the `almost back-to-back' region where resummation of large logarithms due to soft…
Hadron structure is considered in the frame of Strongly Correlated Quark Model (SCQM). It is shown that quark correlations result in fluctuations of hadronic matter distributions and single diffractive dissociation processes in hadronic…
Non-linear effects in hadronic interactions are treated by means of enhanced pomeron diagrams, assuming that pomeron-pomeron coupling is dominated by soft partonic processes. It is shown that the approach allows to resolve a seeming…
Using Drell-Yan pair production as an example, we explore the relation between two well-known mechanisms for single transverse-spin asymmetries in hard processes: twist-three quark-gluon correlations when the pair's transverse momentum is…
In this paper we discuss the single diffractive production of open heavy flavor mesons and non-prompt charmonia in $pp$ collisions. Using the color dipole approach, we found that the single diffractive production constitutes 0.5-2 per cent…
