A combination of the inclusive diffractive cross section measurements made by the H1 and ZEUS Collaborations at
HERA is presented. The analysis uses diffractive deep inelastic scattering data measured by means of proton spectrometers.
Correlations of systematic uncertainties are taken into account by the combination method,resulting in improved precision.
The combined data cover the range...

First measurements are presented of the diffractive cross section
$\sigma_{ep \rightarrow eXY}$ at centre-of-mass energies $\sqrt{s}$ of
225 and 252 GeV, together with a precise new measurement at $\sqrt{s}$ of
319 GeV, using data taken with the H1 detector in the years 2006 and 2007.
Together with previous H1 data at $\sqrt{s}$ of 301 GeV, the measurements

A new method for the extraction of diffractive parton distributions is presented which avoids the use of Regge theory ansatz and is in much closer relation with the factorization theorem for diffractive hard processes.

We extract diffractive parton distribution functions (DPDFs) and diffractive structure functions from the most recent H1 and ZEUS diffractive DIS data obtained by various methods. We consider Pomeron as an object with parton distribution function, evolving according to the next-to-leading order (NLO) DGLAP equations within the framework of the โFixed Flavour Number Schemeโ (FFNS).

HERA data on diffractive DIS show deviations from twist 2 DGLAP predictions below Q^2 5 GeV^2 at low x_P, which may reach up to 100%. These deviations are consistent with higher twists effects extracted from the saturation model. It is a first direct evidence for the higher twists in DIS. This finding affects determination of the diffractive parton densities that are used for the predictions...

We present new results on determination of higher twist contributions in diffractive DIS and compare them to the inclusive DIS case. In both cases the framework for the estimates is provided by the saturation model. We discuss the methods of higher twist extraction from the saturation model and compare the results for DIS and DDIS. We point out a striking difference in higher twist importance...

We report on studies of exclusive dimuon production, using LHCb experimental data. Exclusively produced muon pairs can be produced by two photon fusion (a QED process ideally suited to obtaining a precise integrated luminosity measure), or by resonance production. We show results for exclusive dimuon production, and observations of the exclusive J/psi. psiโ and chi_c states, obtained with data...

Exclusive leptoproduction of vector mesons has been the subject of recent significant progress, both theoretically and experimentally. In particular, the hard regime with a highly virtual photon exchange allows to separate a short distance dominated amplitude of hard subprocess from suitably defined hadronic objects. However, a consistent picture is still missing, in particular for...

We study the W/Z pair production via two-photon exchange at the LHC and give the sensitivities on trilinear and quartic gauge anomalous couplings between photons and W/Z bosons. Tagging the protons in the final state in the ATLAS Forward Physics detectors as an example allows to improve the reach on anomalous couplings by four orders of magnitude reaching the values predicted by...

One of the fundamental goals of the PHENIX experiment is to understand the structure of cold nuclear matter, since this serves as the initial state for heavy-ion collisions. Knowing the initial state is vital for interpreting measurements from heavy-ion collisions. Moreover, the structure of the cold nucleus by itself is interesting since it is a test-bed for our understanding of QCD. In...

We obtain a very good description of the current HERA data on diffractive rho electroproduction using a holographic

In the conventional b_* model for the CollinsโSoperโSterman resummation,
the resummed form factor is accompanied by the nonperturbative gaussian form factor, and
it is known that the nonperturbative parameter associated with the latter exhibits the strong dependence on the logarithm of
the vector boson invariant mass.
On the other hand, an another approach to treat the impact parameter (b...

We calculate in the next-to-leading order the impact factor (vertex) for the production of a forward high-p_T jet, in the approximation of small aperture of the jet cone in the pseudorapidity-azimuthal angle plane. The final expression for the vertex turns out to be simple and easy to implement in numerical calculations.

An iterative solution best suited for a Monte Carlo implementation for the non-forward BFKL equation is presented and possible applications discussed. We introduce running coupling effects in a way compatible with the bootstrap, fundamental condition for gluon reggeization and see how this naturally leads to renormalon effects in the infrared.

Lipatov's high-energy effective action is a very promising tool for computations in the Regge limit beyond leading order. Its use has been however restricted to tree-level calculations for many years. Recently a regularization/subtraction prescription was proposed that allows to extend the formalism to deal with loops in a consistent way. We illustrate the procedure with the computation of the...

In this talk we present the results of the diffractive single-pion production on the protons and nuclei (both for the coherent and incoherent cases). We demonstrate that all the evaluations which are based on Adler relation (AR) are valid only in the region up to 10 GeV, in the regime of short lifetime of heavy hadronic fluctuations. At higher energies, when all the relevant time scales...

We compare two Monte Carlo implementations of resummation schemes for the description of parton evolution at small values of Bjorken x. One of them if based on the BFKL evolution equation. The other one is based on the CCFM partonic kernel where QCD coherence effects are introduced. It has been argued that both approaches agree with each other in the x to 0 limit. We show that this is not the...
