Combining the QCD dipole model with the Good and Walker picture, we formulate diffractive dissociation of a photon of virtuality Q^2 off a hadronic target, in the kinematical regime in which Q is close to the saturation scale and much smaller than the invariant mass of the diffracted system. We show how the obtained formula compares to the HERA data and discuss what can be learnt from such a phenomenology. In particular, we argue that diffractive observables in these kinematics provide useful pieces of information on the saturation regime of QCD.

Using the Good and Walker picture, we derive a simple formula for diffractive dissociation that can apply to recent data collected at HERA in the low Q2 regime.
We report on investigations concerning the production of large transverse momentum jets in DIS diffractive dissociation. These processes constitute a new class of events that allow for a clean test of perturbative QCD and of the hard (perturbative) p
omeron picture. The measurement of the corresponding cross sections might possibly serve to determine the gluon density of the proton.
We describe the formalism, and present the results, for a triple-Regge analysis of the available pp and pbar{p} high-energy data which explicitly accounts for absorptive corrections. In particular, we allow for the gap survival probability, S^2, in s
ingle proton diffractive dissociation. Since for pp scattering the value of S^2 is rather small, the triple-Pomeron vertex obtained in this analysis is larger than that obtained in the old analyses where the suppression caused by the absorptive corrections was implicitly included in an effective vertex. We show that the bare triple-Pomeron coupling that we extract from the pp and pbar{p} data is consistent with that obtained in a description of the gamma p -> J/psi + Y HERA data. The analyses of the data prefer a zero slope, corresponding to the small size of the bare vertex, giving the hope of a smooth matching to the perturbative QCD treatment of the triple-Pomeron coupling.
We have recently studied the QCD pomeron loop evolution equations in zero transverse dimensions [Shoshi:2005pf]. Using the techniques developed in [Shoshi:2005pf] together with the AGK cutting rules, we present a calculation of single, double and cen
tral diffractive cross sections (for large diffractive masses and large rapidity gaps) in zero transverse dimensions in which all dominant pomeron loop graphs are consistently summed. We find that the diffractive cross sections unitarise at asymptotic energies and that they are suppressed by powers of alpha_s. Our calculation is expected to expose some of the diffractive physics in hadron-hadron collisions at high energy.
We analyze the validity of a commonly used identification between structures of the virtual photon $gamma^*to Qbar Q$ and vector meson $Vto Qbar Q$ transitions. In the existing studies of $S$-wave vector-meson photoproduction in the literature, such
an identification is typically performed in the light-front (LF) frame while the radial component of the meson wave function is rather postulated than computed from the first principles. The massive photon-like $Vto Qbar Q$ vertex, besides the $S$-wave component, also contains an extra $D$-wave admixture in the $Qbar Q$ rest frame. However, the relative weight of these contributions cannot be justified by any reasonable nonrelativistic $Qbar Q$ potential model. In this work, we investigate the relative role of the $D$-wave contribution starting from the photon-like quarkonium $Vto Qbar Q$ transition in both frames: in the $Qbar Q$ rest frame (with subsequent Melosh spin transform to the LF frame) and in the LF frame (without Melosh transform). We show that the photon-like transition imposed in the $Qbar Q$ rest frame leads to significant discrepancies with the experimental data. In the second case we find that the corresponding total $J/psi(1S)$ photoproduction cross sections are very close to those obtained with the $S$-wave only $Vto Qbar Q$ transition, both leading to a good description of the data. However, we find that the $S$-wave only transition leads to a better description of photoproduction data for excited heavy quarkonium states, which represent a more effective tool for study of $D$-wave effects. Consequently, the predictions for production of excited states based on the photon-like structure of $Vto Qbar Q$ transition should be treated with a great care due to a much stronger sensitivity of the $D$-wave contribution to the nodal structure of quarkonium wave functions.
