About this book

High-energy diffraction has become a hot and fashionable subject in recent years due to the great interest triggered by the HERA and Tevatron data. These data have helped to show the field from a different perspective paving the road to a hopefully more complete understanding than hitherto achieved. The forthcoming data in the next few years from even higher energies (LHC) promise to sustain this interest for a long time. We believe that it is therefore necessary to summarize the main devel­ opments which have marked the growth of high-energy diffractive physics in recent decades, and to assess the present state of the art. This is the purpose of the present book, which is especially aimed at the young researchers who are entering the field and want to get acquainted with the relevant results and the main theoretical techniques. The "new" diffraction has started to bridge the gap between the hard and soft regimes of strong interactions. A modern account of the subject, in our opinion, should reflect this situation, covering both the traditional approaches to soft processes which are still alive and useful, and the modern treatment of hard dynamics in the framework of perturbative QCD. The book is divided into three parts. The first part (Chaps. 1-3) contains some introductory material: the systematics of diffractive processes, some historical remarks, the optical analogy, the eikonal approximation of quantum mechanics, and high-energy kinematics. In the second part (Chaps.

Reviews

From the reviews:

This monograph is a very high quality up-to-date review of soft and hard diffraction processes in strong interaction physics. We can divide this very interesting book into two parts. The first part covers the Chapters 1-7 and can be used as a textbook in particle physics classes. The second part covers the Chapters 8-11 and can be used by graduate students as well as researchers. I think that this book is useful for every particle physicist. (Journal of Computational Methods in Sciences & Engineering)

"This monograph gives a comprehensive and up-to-date overview of soft and hard diffraction processes in strong interaction physics. … It can be used as a textbook in particle physics classes. … It presents recent results and experimental findings and their phenomenological interpretations. … addresses graduate students as well as researchers." (ETDE Energy Database, 2003)

"The purpose of the present book is to present the main insights which have mentioned the growth of high-energy diffractive physics in recent decades and also to present the recent state of the art. … This monograph is a very high quality up-to-date review of soft and hard diffraction processes in strong interaction physics. … I think that this book is useful for every particle physicists."
