Data in which a proton is tagged along the beampipe after the primary
interaction represents the cleanest way to measure diffraction. Data from
both H1 and ZEUS collaborations on inclusive diffractive deep inelastic
scattering, with a tagged proton, have been combined. Inclusive
diffractive deep inelastic scattering can be considered as the exchange of
a colourless object and is...

Many progress have been made in recent years in the field of exclusive electroproduction of mesons. I will describe different theoretical descriptions of this family of processes within the frameworks of kt- factorization, collinear factorization or modified perturbative approach. We systematically compare theoretical expectations to existing data and discuss the impact of QCD evolution...

We confront the Impact-Parameter dependent Color Glass Condensate dipole (b-CGC) model to the recently released high precision combined HERA data and obtain its parameters. The b-CGC results are then compared to data at small-x for the structure function, the longitudinal structure function, the charm structure function, exclusive vector meson (J/\psi, \phi, \rho) production and Deeply Virtual...

The exclusive production of dijets in diffractive deep inelastic lepton-proton scattering has been measured with the ZEUS detector at HERA using an integrated luminosity of 372 pb$^{-1}$ of $e^\pm p$ data. The measurement has been performed in the kinematic range $Q^2 > 25\,\mathrm{GeV}^2$, $90 < W < 250\,\mathrm{GeV}$ and $x_{\rm I\!P} < 0.01$, where $Q^2$ is the virtuality of exchanged...

Predictions of diffractive proton-proton cross sections at LHC, and of the total and total-inelastic proton-proton cross sections based on the RENORM unitarization model, also known as the MBR (minimum-bias-Rockefeller) model implemented in PYTHIA8-MBR, are confirmed by recent LHC measurements. Several other available diffraction models are discussed, highlighting differences among them and...

The TOTEM experiment at the LHC has measured the elastic proton-proton cross-section at sqrt(s) = 7 TeV and 8 TeV in a large range of the four-momentum transfer t. At 8 TeV the measurement reaches into the Coulomb-Nuclear Interference region, providing insight into the nuclear scattering phase and its functional dependence on t.

Central exclusive production (CEP) processes in high-energy proton-(anti)proton collisions offer a very promising framework within which to study both novel aspects of QCD and new physics signals.

After the first LHC Long Shutdown, TOTEM and CMS will join forces to create a combined apparatus with the largest rapidity coverage and with a very performing two-arm proton spectrometer. Focussing on the process of central diffraction opens unique opportunities

The azimuthal correlation between forward and central jets is measured in proton–proton collisions at the LHC, at the centre-of-mass energy of 7 TeV. The forward jet is reconstructed in the hadronic forward (HF) calorimeter in the pseudorapidity region 3.2 < |η| < 4.7, while the central jet is limited to |η| < 2.8. At least one central jet and one forward jet are required to have transverse...

The recent proposal for an evolution equation for unintegrated gluon densities for large values of the QCD coupling constant α¯s is going to be presented. The approach is based on the linear resummation model introduced by Sta\'{s}to. It is generalized to account for nonlinearity in the diffusive regime. The validity of the diffusive evolution at strong coupling is supported by the AdS/CFT...

We show how scattering at small-x can be studied by Pomeron exchange in AdS space using the gauge/gravity duality, with good results. In this approach the Pomeron at strong coupling is the graviton Regge trajectory. We use AdS space with a hard wall to mimic confinement effects. We use our results to fit HERA data, most recently for vector meson production, where both the proton and vector...

High-energy evolution equations like BFKL, BK or JIMWLK are derived formally at
infinite energy. In order to use those equations to resum leading logs in a physical observable at any finite energy in a consistent way, one needs to modifiy these equations by a kinematical constraint.
I will discuss this issue in general, and show how to address the additional complications arising in...

The rapidity (energy) evolution of hadronic observables in scattering of a dilute perturbative projectile on a dense gluonic target is described in QCD by the JIMWLK equation. This is a functional non-linear equation that is consistent with the QCD unitarity. JIMWLK reduces to the linear BFKL equation when the scattering probability is low.
I'll first sketch the way the leading order JIMWLK...

In the high energy limit, scattering processes can be described within the eikonal approximation, neglecting contributions which are power-suppressed at high energy. In the case of processes involving a large nuclear target, like pA or AA collisions, the Color Glass Condensate effective theory (CGC) is one of the most convenient formalisms based on the eikonal approximation. However, at LHC...

Prompt J/psi hadroduction is analyzed beyond the leading twist two-gluon production mechanism. A contribution to the process is sudied in detail in which the meson production is mediated by three-gluon partonic state, with two gluons coming from the target and one gluon from the projectile. This contribution enters at non-leading twist, but is enhanced at large energies due to large double...

The Color Class Condensate offers a consistent framework to describe

Ultra-Peripheral production of vector mesons investigates those collisions where the impact parameter is larger than the sum of the radii of the two projectiles, implying that electromagnetic processes become dominant. For heavier vector mesons, they can provide a promising way to investigate nuclear shadowing (Pb-Pb) and the gluon structure function (p-Pb). The latest results from this...

We report a study on the description of two-photon production of dimuons in proton-proton collisions. We focus on the region of high transverse momentum of the muon pairs, where contributions from proton dissociative events are important.

We analyse, within a dipole model, the inclusive DIS cross section data, obtained from the combination of the H1 and ZEUS HERA measurements. We show that these high precision data are very well described within the dipole model framework, which is complemented with a valence quark structure functions. We discuss the properties of
the gluon density obtained in this way.
