    PHENIX has observed a very large spin dependent asymmetry in forward neutron production in pp collisions at several energies up to Sqrt[s]= 500 GeV. We present results on beam energy and x_F dependence of this asymmetry and discuss the large discrepancy with currently available calculations of this effect.

    A proposal to incorporate a new subdetector into the ALICE detector at the LHC is presented. The new system consists of four stations of scintillator pads at 20 and 55 meters from the interaction point on both sides. The system would extend the rapidity coverage increasing the sensitivity of the experiment to tag the diffractive rapidity gap. The new system would enhance the...

    The concept of generalized parton distributions (GPDs), non-diagonal matrix elements of quark-antiquark or gluon-gluon non local operators on the light cone, has recently been extended to baryon to meson and (and baryon to baryon) transition distribution amplitudes (TDAs), non diagonal matrix elements of three quark operators between two hadronic states of different baryon number (or...

    We present a new method to test the Standard Model expectations at the LHC using photon-induced WW production. Both W decay in the main ATLAS or CMS detectors while scattered protons are measured in forward detectors. The sensitivity to anomalous WW gamma quartic and triple gauge coupling can be improved respectively by more than three orders of magnitude or a factor 30 compared to the...

    We study the first sub-leading correction O(lns^0) to the cusp (minimal) anomalous dimension in the high spin expansion of finite twist operators in N=4 SYM theory. This approximation is governed by a linear integral equation derived from Bethe Ansatz equations describing the 'asymptotic' spectrum of the dilatation operator. We emphasise how easily the weak coupling expansion can be obtained...

    Saturation in deep inelastic scattering (DIS) and deeply virtual Compton scattering (DVCS) is associated with a phase transition between the partonic gas, typical of moderate x and Q^2, and, a partonic fluid, created at increasing Q^2 and decreasing Bjorken x. In the statistical interpretation of DIS, the large-x, (1-x)^n factor in the structure function (SF) is associated with a perfect gas,...

    A model, based on Gribov’s Reggeon calculus, is proposed and applied to processes of soft diffraction in hadronic interactions at high energies.

    Abstract Photon bremsstrahlung is proposed to be used to identify elastic proton-proton interactions at the LHC. In addition to a measurement of the elastic pp cross section (assuming that the elastic slope is known), the bremsstrahlung photons will allow the evaluation of the total pp cross section, luminosity and to align the Zero Degree Calorimeters (ZDCs).

    Using a modification of the BFKL equation which admits discrete pomeron pole solutions, we obtain a good fit to HERA data on structure functions at low-x, including the Q^2 dependence of the 1/x slope. The fit is very sensitive to the running of the QCD coupling, up to high energies and therefore sensitive to any new physics which may be encountered. It is suggested that the quality of such...

    Diffractive excitation is usually described by the Good--Walker formalism for low masses, and by the triple-Regge formalism for high masses. In the Good--Walker formalism the cross section is determined by the fluctuations in the interaction. By taking the fluctuations in the BFKL ladder into account, it is possible to describe both low and high mass excitation by the Good--Walker...

    Broadening of gluons propagating through a nucleus is slowed down by the saturation effects in the target. This gives rise to an equation for the saturation scale which solution deviates from the leading order linear dependence on nuclear thickness T_A and becomes constant for very large T_A. The results for the saturation scale are similar to numerical solutions of the BK equation. In the...

    Colliding nuclei consist of nucleons with a shifted scale, which makes such a medium more opaque for dipoles. Therefore J/Psi will be more suppressed than predicts a simple extrapolation from pA to AA. Another effect is an enhanced color transparency.
