Rapidity Gaps in DIS through Soft Colour Interactions
We present a new mechanism for the creation of large rapidity gaps in DIS
events at HERA. Soft colour interactions between perturbatively produced
partons and colour-charges in the proton remnant, modifies the colour structure
for hadronization giving colour singlet systems that are well separated in
rapidity. An explicit model is presented that, although the detailed results
depend on the initial state parton emission, can describe both the observed
rapidity gaps and, in addition, the forward energy flow in an inclusive event
sample.Comment: 4 pages Latex, 4 encapsulated Postscript figures, uses qcdparis.sty,

Odderon-Pomeron Interference
We show that the asymmetry in the fractional energy of charm versus anticharm
jets produced in high energy diffractive photoproduction is sensitive to the
interference of the Odderon and Pomeron exchange amplitudes
in QCD. We predict the dynamical shape of the asymmetry in a simple model and
estimate its magnitude to be of the order 15% using an Odderon coupling to the
proton which saturates constraints from proton-proton vs. proton-antiproton
elastic scattering. Measurements of this asymmetry at HERA could provide firm
experimental evidence for the presence of Odderon exchange in the high energy
limit of strong interactions.Comment: 12 pages, 4 figures, Minor corrections, Main results unchanged,

Rapidity Gaps from Colour String Topologies
Diffractive deep inelastic scattering at HERA and diffractive W and jet
production at the Tevatron are well described by soft colour exchange models.
Their essence is the variation of colour string-field topologies giving both
gap and no-gap events, with a smooth transition and thereby a unified
description of all final states.Comment: 3 pages, 6 eps figures, contribution to the DIS 99 workshop

Soft Colour Interactions in Non-perturbative QCD
Improved understanding of non-perturbative QCD dynamics can be obtained in
terms of soft colour exchange models. Their essence is the variation of colour
string-field topologies giving a unified description of final states in high
energy interactions. In particular, both events with and without large rapidity
gaps are obtained in agreement with data from ep at HERA and ppbar at the
Tevatron, where also the surprisingly large production rate of high-p_T
charmonium and bottomonium is reproduced.Comment: 4 pages, contribution to PANIC 99 conference proceedings, to appear

Unified Description of Rapidity Gaps and Energy Flows in DIS Final States
We show that the `orthogonal' characteristics of the observed rapidity gaps
and large forward energy flows in deep inelastic scattering at HERA, can be
described within a single framework. Our Monte Carlo model is based on
perturbative QCD matrix elements and parton showers together with Lund string
model hadronization, but has in addition a new mechanism for soft colour
interactions which modifies the perturbative colour structure and thereby the
hadronization. Effects of perturbative multiparton emission are investigated
and the non-perturbative treatment of the proton remnant is discussed and
comparison to the observed transverse energy flow is made. We investigate the
resulting diffractive-like properties of the model; such as rapidity gap
events, - and -distributions and the diffractive structure function in
comparison to H1 data.Comment: 24 pages LaTeX2e, 13 encapsulated PostScript figure
Soft Colour Interactions as the Origin of Rapidity Gaps in DIS
We introduce soft colour interactions as a novel mechanism to understand the
observed events with large rapidity gaps in collisions at HERA. Colour
exchanges between produced partons and colour-charges in the proton remnant
modifies the colour structure for hadronization, such that colour singlet
systems may appear well separated in rapidity. Our explicit model show
characteristics of diffractive scattering, although no explicit pomeron
dynamics have been introduced, and for non-gap events an increased forward
energy flow gives agreement with data.Comment: 11 pages Latex, 6 encapsulated Postscript figures, uses revtex.sty,
