The casuality and/or energy-momentum conservation constraints on QCD amplitudes in small x regime
The causality and/or the energy-momentum constraints on the amplitudes of
high energy processes are generalized to QCD. The constraints imply that the
energetic parton may experience at most one inelastic collision only and that
the number of the constituents in the light cone wave function of the
projectile is increasing with the collision energy and the atomic number.Comment: 24 pages,8 figures. The paper is streamlined, some references are

Charm Production in DPMJET
In this work, charm production in the {\sc dpmjet} hadronic jet simulation is
compared to experimental data. Since the major application of {\sc dpmjet} is
the simulation of cosmic ray-induced air showers, the version of the code
integrated in the CORSIKA simulation package has been used for the comparison.
Wherever necessary, adjustments have been made to improve agreement between
simulation and data. With the availability of new muon/neutrino detectors that
combine a large fiducial volume with large amounts of shielding, investigation
of prompt muons and neutrinos from cosmic ray interactions will be feasible for
the first time. Furthermore, above TeV charmed particle decay
becomes the dominant background for diffuse extraterrestrial neutrino flux
searches. A reliable method to simulate charm production in high-energy
proton-nucleon interactions is therefore required.Comment: 10 pages, to be published in JCA
The triple-pomeron regime and the structure function of the pomeron in the diffractive deep inelastic scattering at very small x
Misprints and numerical coefficients corrected, a bit of phenomenology and
one figure added. The case for the linear evolution of the unitarized structure
functions made stronger.Comment: KFA-IKP(Th)-1993-17, Landau-16/93, 46 pages, 14 figures upon request

The lepton pair production in heavy ion collisions in perturbation theory
We derive the first terms in the amplitude of lepton pair production in the
Coulomb fields of two relativistic heavy ions. Using the Sudakov technique,
which very simplify the calculations in momentum space for the processes at
high energies, we get the compact analytical expressions for differential cross
section of the process under consideration in the lowest order in fine
structure constant (Born approximation) valid for any momentum transfer and in
a wide kinematics region for produced particles. Exploiting the same technique
we consider the next terms of perturbation series (up to fourth order in fine
structure constant) and investigate their energy dependence and limiting cases.
It has been shown that taking in account all relevant terms in corresponding
order one obtains the expressions which are gauge invariant and finite. We
estimate the contribution of the Coulomb corrections to the total cross section
and discuss the cancellations of the different terms which holds in the total
cross section.Comment: LaTeX2e, 18 pages, 4 eps figure
Lambda-Baryon Production in pi(+-)n Interactions
The process of Lambda-baryon production in pi-p collisions is considered. The
contribution of the string-junction mechanism to the strange baryon production
in meson-baryon scattering is anlysed. The results of numerical calculations in
the framework of the Quark-Gluon String model are in reasonable agreement with
the data.Comment: 10 pages and 5 figue
Multiple Interactions and the Structure of Beam Remnants
Recent experimental data have established some of the basic features of
multiple interactions in hadron-hadron collisions. The emphasis is therefore
now shifting, to one of exploring more detailed aspects. Starting from a brief
review of the current situation, a next-generation model is developed, wherein
a detailed account is given of correlated flavour, colour, longitudinal and
transverse momentum distributions, encompassing both the partons initiating
perturbative interactions and the partons left in the beam remnants. Some of
the main features are illustrated for the Tevatron and the LHC.Comment: 69pp, 33 figure
Hadronic photon-photon interactions at high energies
Photon-photon collisions are investigated in the framework of the
two-component Dual Parton Model. The model is shown to agree well to hadron
production data from hadron-hadron and photon-hadron collisions. The
multiparticle production in hadron-hadron, photon-hadron and photon-photon
collisions as predicted by the model is compared. Strong differences are only
found as function of the transverse momentum variable. The hadron production in
photon-photon collisions at present and future electron-positron colliders is
studied using photon spectra according to the equivalent photon approximation,
according to beamstrahlung and according to backscattered laser radiation.Comment: 18 pages + 26 figures, latex with poscript figures uuencode
