The elastic and inelastic profiles have been derived from the measured elastic differential cross section data with the help of exact impact parameter representation of elastic scattering amplitude. The results obtained for pp scattering at energy of 53 GeV and ¯ pp scattering at energy of 541 GeV have been presented. They indicate that nucleons can be regarded as objects characterized by a sma...

Azimuthal asymmetries in semi-inclusive production of positive (h) and negative hadrons (h) have been measured by scattering of 160 GeV muons off longitudinally polarised deuterons at CERN. The asymmetries were decomposed in several terms, according to their expected modulation as a function of the outgoing hadron azimuthal angle φ. Each term receives contributions from one or several spin and ...

It is pointed out, that color-singlet gluon clusters can be formed in hadrons as a consequence of self-organized criticality (SOC) in systems of interacting soft gluons, and that the properties of such spatiotemporal complexities can be probed experimentally by examing inelastic diffractive scattering. Theoretical arguments and experimental evidence supporting the proposed picture are presented...
