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.

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...

an excellent fit to the combined HERA data at small $x$. We also discuss the constraints of unitarity and...

Gluon distrubutions of colliding hadrons saturate
as a consequence of non-linear evolution equations of QCD.
Saturation implies the existence of the so called

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...

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.

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.
