We calculate the nuclear shadowing ratio for a wide range of nuclei at small Bjorken-x in the framework of Gribov theory. The coherent contribution to the (virtual) photon-nucleon cross section is obtained in terms of the diffractive dissociation cross section. Information on diffraction from FNAL and HERA is used. Our results are compared to available experimental data from the NMC and E665 experiments at x ~ 10^{-4}.

We reconsider the Standard Model interactions of ultra-high energy neutrinos with matter. The next to leading order QCD corrections are presented for charged-current and neutral-current processes. Contrary to popular expectations, these corrections are found to be quite substantial, especially for very large (anti-) neutrino energies. Hence, they need to be taken into account in any search for new physics effects in high-energy neutrino interactions. In our extrapolation of the parton densities to kinematical regions as yet unexplored directly in terrestrial accelerators, we are guided by double asymptotic scaling in the large Q^2 and small Bjorken x region and to models of saturation in the low Q^2 and low x regime. The sizes of the consequent uncertainties are commented upon. We also briefly discuss some variables which are insensitive to higher order QCD corrections and are hence suitable in any search for new physics.
We present a revision of predictions for nuclear shadowing in deep-inelastic scattering at small Bjorken $x_{Bj}$ corresponding to kinematic regions accessible by the future experiments at electron-ion colliders. The nuclear shadowing is treated within the color dipole formalism based on the rigorous Green function technique. This allows incorporating naturally color transparency and coherence length effects, which are not consistently and properly included in present calculations. For the lowest $|qbar qrangle$ Fock component of the photon, our calculations are based on an exact numerical solution of the evolution equation for the Green function. Here the magnitude of shadowing is tested using a realistic form for the nuclear density function, as well as various phenomenological models for the dipole cross section. The corresponding variation of the transverse size of the $qbar q$ photon fluctuations is important for $x_{Bj}gtrsim 10^{-4}$, on the contrary with the most of other models, which use frequently only the eikonal approximation with the frozen transverse size. At $x_{Bj}lesssim 0.01$ we calculate within the same formalism also a shadowing correction for the higher Fock component of the photon containing gluons. The corresponding magnitudes of gluon shadowing correction are compared adopting different phenomenological dipole models. Our results are tested by available data from the E665 and NMC collaborations. Finally, the magnitude of nuclear shadowing is predicted for various kinematic regions that should be scanned by the future experiments at electron-ion colliders.
For an accurate description of the polarized deep inelastic scattering at low $x$ including the logarithmic corrections, $ln^2(1/x)$, is required. These corrections resummed strongly influence the behaviour of the spin structure functions and their moments. Results of the work of J. Kwiecinski and myself on this problem are reviewed.}
Diffractive deeply inelastic scattering from a hadron is described in terms of diffractive quark and gluon distributions. If the transverse size of the hadronic state is sufficiently small, these distributions are calculable using perturbation theory. We present such a calculation and discuss the underlying dynamics. We comment on the relation between this dynamics and the pattern of scaling violation observed in the hard diffraction of large-size states at HERA.
A rapidity gap trigger for the ALICE detector at the Large Hadron Collider LHC is presented and a few selected physics observables are discussed. First, some properties of double pomeron events are outlined. Second, signatures of the odderon in diffractive J/Psi production is discussed. Third, possible evidence of gluon saturation in the cross section of diffractive heavy quark photoproduction is investigated.
