Quantum Chromodynamics, the theory of quarks and gluons, whose interactions can be
described by a local SU (3) gauge symmetry with charges called “color quantum numbers” …

This review outlines our present experimental knowledge and theoretical understanding of
deep-inelastic scattering on nuclear targets. The emphasis is primarily on nuclear …

At very high energies or small values of Bjorken x, the density of partons, per unit transverse
area, in hadronic wavefunctions becomes very large leading to a saturation of partonic …

We demonstrate that the distinctive features of the forward differential cross section of
diffractive leptoproduction of a vector meson can be legitimately calculated in perturbative …

We give a complete reanalysis of the leading twist quark-antiquark light-cone distribution
amplitudes of longitudinal and transverse ρ mesons. We derive Wandzura-Wilczek-type …

The exclusive electroproduction of J/ψ mesons, ep→ epJ/ψ, has been studied with the ZEUS
detector at HERA for virtualities of the exchanged photon in the ranges 0.15< Q 2< 0.8 GeV …

We develop the novel description of diffractive deep inelastic scattering based on the
technique of lightcone wave functions of multiparton Fock states of the photon. The …

We develop the color dipole phenomenology of diffractive photo-and electroproduction γ*
N→ V (V′) N of light vector mesons (V (1 S)= ϕ 0, ω 0, ρ 0) and their radial excitations …

Diffractive electroproduction of ρ and ϕ mesons is measured at HERA with the H1 detector
in the elastic and proton dissociative channels. The data correspond to an integrated …

Elastic production of vector mesons γ∗ N→ VN is the pomeron-exchange dominated
diffractive reaction with much potential of probing the BFKL pomeron. The BFKL pomeron …
