Assuming the form $\sigma^{\gamma P} \propto l^{\lambda_{\rm eff}}$ at fixed $Q^2$ for the behavior of the virtual-photon proton scattering cross section, where $l$ is the coherence length of the photon fluctuations, it is seen that the extrapolated values of $\sigma^{\gamma P}$ for different $Q^2$ cross for $l\approx 10^8$~fm. It is argued that this behavior is not physical, and that the...

Measurements of the lepto-production of vector mesons have always been pivotal in the development of a theory of hadron dynamics, challenging and elucidating the paradigm of the moment and thereby guiding our understanding of it to its present status in terms of QCD. Always with an experimentalist's appreciation of the momentous theoretical achievements of more recent years with QCD in mind,...

The Color Glass Condensate framework has been successfully applied to many high-energy scattering processes, and it has also been seen as a powerful tool to describe initial state of heavy ion collisions. An important next step for the CGC phenomenology is to perform these calculations at next-to-leading order accuracy, which would allow a qualitative test of the saturation picture. A...

Exclusive vector meson production can be used to directly probe the gluon density of a hadron. Measuring the cross section differentially in the momentum transfer t makes it possible to determine the transverse density profile (via coherent diffraction) and density fluctuations (incoherent diffraction) of the target hadron. This knowledge on the geometric fluctuations of the proton is...

The color dipole formalism is extended to the study of exclusive processes associated with a leading neutron in ep collisions at high energies. We discuss the leading neutron production in $e + p \rightarrow e + n + X$ collisions at high energies and estimate the related observables, which were measured at HERA and may be analysed in future electron-proton ($ep$) colliders. We show that the...

In this talk a study of differential cross sections for the production of four jets in multi-Regge kinematics will be presented, the main focus lying on azimuthal angle dependences. The theoretical setup consists in the jet production from a single BFKL ladder with a convolution of three BFKL Green functions, where two forward/backward jets are always tagged in the final state. Furthermore,...

First, we define new observables sensitive to BFKL dynamics in the context of multijet production at the Large Hadron Collider. We propose the study of the inclusive production of three jets well separated in rapidity from each other, with two of them being very forward. We show that the tagging of a third jet in the central region of rapidity allows for a very strong test of the BFKL...

Exclusive W+ W- pair production in photon-photon collisions during the pp runs at 7 and 8TeV are observed and used to put constraints on the Anomalous Quartic Gauge Couplings. During the proton lead collisions in photon-induced vector meson production is observed via the decay of Ypsilon into two muons. The slope of the squared pT distribution is measured to determine the size of the production region.

A Regge pole model for Pomeron-Pomeron total cross section in the resonance region $\sqrt{M^2}\le$ 5 GeV is presented. The cross section is saturated by direct-channel contributions from the Pomeron as well as from two different $f$ trajectories, accompanied by the isolated f$_0(500)$ resonance dominating the $\sqrt{M^{2}}\leq 1$ GeV region. A slowly varying background is taken into account....

Forward $J/\psi$ production and suppression in high energy proton-nucleus collisions can be an important probe of gluon saturation.

Ultra-Peripheral Pb-Pb collisions, in which the two nuclei pass close to each other but at an impact parameter greater than the sum of their radii, provide information about the initial state of nuclei.

The successful combined data taking of the CMS and TOTEM experiments allows to characterize hadronic final states of an extremely wide pseudo-rapidity range. The measurement of the charged particles distributions over |eta<6.6| is a very important example that puts strong constraints on interaction models.
