Description

Moderator: Vladimir Petrov Panelists: Jan Kaspar, Antonio Sidoti, Johan Blouw, Alice Valkarova, Laszlo Jenkovszky, Igor Dremin Questions: 1.Which problems of principle underlie the diffractive studies? 2.What is the Pomeron? 3.What is the “true asymptotic regime” (“Asymptopia”) , if any? 4.How to account for coherent and incoherent states of partons in proton wave functions? 5.If QCD has anything concrete to say about diffractive scattering?
