    Predictions of diffractive, total, and total-inelastic cross sections at the LHC, based on the pre-LHC renormalization model of diffraction RENORM, are reviewed and compared with the latest experimental results. RENORM is found to be in reasonable agreement with all aspects of the data and is extended to include predictions for the upcoming LHC run at 13 TeV.

    The differential diffractive cross section is measured as a function of xi= M_X^2/s in the region dominated by single dissociation (SD) and double dissociation (DD), where M_X is the mass of one of the two final-state hadronic systems separated by the largest rapidity gap in the event. The cross section is also measured as a function of the width of the central rapidity gap in the region...

    We present the final results on low-$|t|$ elastic proton-proton scattering at $\sqrt{s} = 8$ TeV based on two data sets acquired with different, dedicated beam-optics settings. A very high statistics sample allowed, for the first time at LHC energies, the exclusion of a purely exponential differential cross-section in the four-momentum range $0.027 < |t| < 0.2~\rm GeV^2$ with a significance...

    The total pp cross section is a fundamental parameter of the strong interaction which cannot be calculated in QCD but still can be measured using the optical theorem, which states that the total cross section can be obtained from the extrapolation to t=0 of the differential elastic cross section measured at small four-momentum transfer t. The ATLAS Collaboration has collected 80 mub-1 of...

    The CMS-TOTEM Precision Proton Spectrometer, CT-PPS, is an approved project to add 3D silicon tracking and quartz Cherenkov timing detectors in Roman pots at z = +/- 210 m from the CMS collision point to study final states p + X + p. The central state X can be a W-pair from photon-photon interactions, a set of high-ET jets from gluon collisions, among others, with M(X) obtained directly as...

    We reconsider the perturbative next-to-leading calculation of the single inclusive hadron production in the framework of the hybrid formalism, applied to hadron production in proton-nucleus collisions. We introduce the explicit requirement that fast fluctuations in the projectile wave function which only exist for a short time are not resolved by the target. This Ioffe time cutoff also...

    We study forward dijet production in dilute-dense hadronic collisions. By considering the appropriate limits, we show that both the transverse-momentum-dependent (TMD) and the high-energy factorization formulas can be derived from the Color Glass Condensate framework. Respectively, this happens when the transverse momentum imbalance of the dijet system, $k_t$, is of the order of either the...

    Experiments at RHIC and the LHC have revealed anisotropic multi-particle azimuthal correlations in high multiplicity pp and pA collisions. These correlations are long range in rapidity (resp. log 1/x) and extend to semi-hard transverse momenta of several GeV. I discuss first steps towards understanding azimuthal correlations from small-x QCD, and the information they could provide about...

    We focus on a holographic approach to DIS at small-x in high energy where scattering is dominated by exchanging a Reggeized Graviton in $AdS_5$. We emphasize the importance of confinement, which corresponds to a deformation of $AdS_5$ geometry in the IR. This approach provides an excellent fit to the combined HERA data at small $x$. We also discuss the constraints of unitarity and...

    A measurement is presented of single- and double-differential dijet cross sections in diffractive deep-inelastic ep scattering at HERA using data collected by the H1 experiment corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 290 pb^{-1}. The investigated phase space is spanned by the photon virtuality in the range of 4< Q^{2} <100 GeV^{2} and by the fractional proton longitudinal momentum loss...

    The cross section of the diffractive process e^+p -> e^+Xp is measured at a centre-of-mass energy of 318 GeV, where the system X contains at least two jets and the leading final state proton p is detected in the H1 Very Forward Proton Spectrometer. The measurement is performed in photoproduction with photon virtualities Q^2 <2 GeV^2 and in deep-inelastic scattering with 4 GeV^2< Q^2 <80 GeV^2....

    Gluon distrubutions of colliding hadrons saturate as a consequence of non-linear evolution equations of QCD. Saturation implies the existence of the so called saturation momentum, which is related to the gluon density per unit rapidity per transverse area. At large energies in some regions of phase space the saturation momentum is the only scale for physical processes. As a...

    We present the results for the calculation of the forward jet vertex associated to a rapidity gap (coupling of a hard pomeron to the jet) in the Balitsky-Fadin-Kuraev-Lipatov (BFKL) formalism at next-to-leading order (NLO). We handle the real emission contributions making use of the high energy effective action proposed by Lipatov, valid for multi-Regge and quasi-multi-Regge kinematics. This...

    I will discuss that diffractive production at small-x, including diffractive photo production of vector mesons and dijet can be a powerful probe of non-linear gluon-saturation dynamics [1,2]. In particular, I will focus on the diffractive dijet production at HERA and the LHC within the color-glass-condensate approach [2]. I will show that the t-distribution of photoproduction of dijet and...

    Particle production through photon-induced processes in ultra-peripheral collisions has attracted an increasing interest following the first heavy-ion runs at the CERN Large Haron Collider. The increased collision energy compared with the Relativistic Heavy-Ion Collider (RHIC) at BNL implies that also heavy final states can be produced in abundance. The focus has so far been on...

Predictions for the rapidity distributions are obtained using the color dipole formalism and including saturation effects, expected to be relevant at high energies. Comparison is done to the J/psi and Psi(2S)...

    The nature of the initial state can be studied in photon-nucleus collisions at the LHC. Ultra-peripheral collisions (UPCs) of heavy ions involve long range electromagnetic interactions at impact parameters larger than twice the nuclear radius. At TeV energies, the strong electromagnetic field due to the coherent action of the Z=82 proton charges generates a large flux of photons, which can be...

    Ultra-relativistic heavy ions generate strong electromagnetic fields, which offer the possibility to study gamma-gamma, gamma-nucleus and gamma-proton processes at the LHC in ultra-peripheral Pb-Pb and p-Pb collisions (UPC). Exclusive photoproduction of vector mesons is sensitive to the gluon distribution of the interacting target (proton or nucleus). The reactions allow one to study...

    The demand for detailed simulations of diffractive processes at an electron-ion collider (EIC) required the realization of an event generator that described these processes not only in ep but especially also in eA. Since gluon saturation is one of the key topics in eA collisions at an EIC, the generator was also required to be able to describe these non-linear QCD phenomena but also be able...

This Hamiltonian is an NLO extension of the JIMWLK LO Hamiltonian, known to incorporate BFKL dynamics with gluon saturation phenomena. We are to demonstrate how the conformal symmetry is realized within the NLO JIMWLK.

    Starting at NLO, the BFKL-BK evolution in high-energy QCD develops severe convergence problems. The most important source for this behavior can be traced down to large double collinear logarithms. We show via explicit computation of Feynman diagrams that corrections enhanced by double logs correspond to soft gluon emissions strongly ordered in lifetime, while other potential contributions...

    A TMD factorization generalizes the usual concept of parton density by allowing PDFs to depend on intrinsic transverse momenta in addition to the usual longitudinal momentum fraction variable. The available analysis of TMD evolution is mostly restricted to the evolution of quark TMDs at moderate x. However at high collider energies the majority of produced particles will be small-x gluons. In...

    We construct a theoretical framework to match the formulas for forward inclusive hadron productions in pA collisions in the small-x saturation formalism and collinear factorization. The small-x calculation can be viewed as a power series in Q2s/k2โŠฅ, in which the collinear factorization result corresponds to the leading term. At high transverse momentum, the subleading correction terms are...

    We present a new method to systematically calculate corrections to the eikonal approximation in the background field formalism. We calculate the subleading power-suppressed corrections due to the finite width of the target to first and second orders. The method is of generic applicability. As a first example, we study both polarized and unpolarized gluon production in pA collisions.
