We give a brief status report on our on-going investigation of the prospects to discover QCD instantons in deep inelastic scattering (DIS) at HERA. A recent high-quality lattice study of the topological structure of the QCD vacuum is…
QED Compton scattering at HERA is discussed in terms of the information it may reveal on the proton structure at low momentum transfers Q2. Detailed Monte Carlo studies are performed which show that the analysis of inelastic QED Compton…
Possibility of experimental identification of QCD-instantons in high energy collisions is studied by means of correlations analysis in final states. Instanton-induced processes amplitudes are performed in the framework of QCD in Gauss…
In view of the intriguing, preliminary search results for instanton-induced events at HERA from the H1 collaboration, some important remaining theoretical issues are discussed. Notably, the question is addressed, to which extent the H1…
Deep-inelastic positron-proton scattering events at low photon virtuality Q^2 with a forward jet, produced at small angles with respect to the proton beam, are measured with the H1 detector at HERA. A subsample of events with an additional…
Preliminary H1 results on dedicated searches for QCD instanton induced processes in DIS are presented. The investigations are based on the expected characteristics of their hadronic final state. Searches were performed in the kinematical…
In this paper an introduction to the physics of deep-inelastic scattering is given together with an account of some of the most recent results on the proton structure obtained in electron-- and positron--proton collisions at the HERA…
Signals for processes induced by QCD instantons are searched for in HERA data on the hadronic final state in deep-inelastic scattering. The maximally allowed fraction of instanton induced events is found at 95% confidence level to be on the…
A first part of this review is devoted to a summary of our extensive studies of the discovery potential for instanton(I)-induced, deep-inelastic processes at HERA. Included are some key issues about I-perturbation theory, an exploitation of…
After fifteen years of running and a further five years of analysis, the final inclusive deep inelastic scattering cross sections from H1 and ZEUS have been published. Measurements of neutral current and charged current processes in ep…
We describe a Monte Carlo event generator for the simulation of QCD-instanton induced processes in deep-inelastic scattering (HERA). The QCDINS package is designed as an ``add-on'' hard process generator interfaced to the general hadronic…
Data from H1 and ZEUS on the structure and the quark and gluon densities of the proton are discussed. A brief excursion is made into the field of inclusive diffraction by deep inelastic scattering. The comparison of e- p and e+ p scattering…
We review recent theoretical results from our systematic study of QCD-instanton contributions to eP processes, involving a hard momentum scale Q. The main issues are: the absence of IR divergencies due to a dynamical suppression of…
Instanton calculations in QCD are generically plagued by infrared divergencies associated with the integration over the instanton size $\rho$. Here, we demonstrate explicitly that the typical inverse hard momentum scale ${\mathcal Q}^{-1}$…
The measurements of the hadronic final state in deep inelastic scattering at HERA are reviewed and discussed in the context of QCD. Covered are the general event properties in terms of energy flows, charged particle production, and charm…
High energy scattering processes of charged particles are accompanied by radiation of hard photons. Emission collinear to the incident particles, which leads to a reduction of the effective beam energy, and the possibility to directly…
I discuss possibilities to observe the instanton-induced contributions to deep inelastic scattering which correspond to nonperturbative exponential corrections to the coefficient functions in front of parton distributions of the leading…
We show that a peripheral meson model can explain the large deep inelastic electron-proton scattering rapidity gap events observed at HERA.
Recent measurements of inclusive and semi-inclusive deep inelastic scattering in electron-proton collisions at HERA are reviewed. These measurements are used to determine the parton distribution functions (PDFs) of the proton, a necessary…
Measurements of structure functions and of the hadronic final state in deep inelastic scattering at HERA are presented. The results comprise the extraction of parton densities, measurements of the strong coupling, and the search for novel…
