Presentation / Conference Contribution
Martin, A., Khoze, V., & Ryskin, M. (2009). Rapidity gap survival probability and total cross sections. In H. Jung, & A. De Roeck (Eds.), Proceedings of the workshop HERA and the LHC: 2nd workshop on the implications of HERA for LHC physics, 2006 - 2008, Hamburg - Geneva (488-494)

We discuss recent calculations of the survival probability of the large rapidity gaps in exclusive processes of the type pp → p + A + p at high energies. Absorptive or screening effects are important, and one consequence is that the total cross secti... Read More about Rapidity gap survival probability and total cross sections..

As for the previous HERA-LHC workshop, the main goals of the WG5 working group during 2006–2008 were: 1) To examine and improve Monte Carlo models for the LHC data using the experience and ideas from the HERA experiments; 2) To develop analysis frame...

Dependence of domain-wall depinning threshold current on pinning profile (2009)
Journal Article
Lepadatu, S., Vanhaverbeke, A., Atkinson, D., Allenspach, R., & Marrows, C. (2009). Dependence of domain-wall depinning threshold current on pinning profile. Physical Review Letters, 102(12), Article 127203. https://doi.org/10.1103/physrevlett.102.127203

We have investigated the threshold current density required for depinning a domain wall from constrictions in NiFe nanowires, which give rise to pinning potentials of fixed amplitude but variable profile. We observed it to vary linearly with the angl... Read More about Dependence of domain-wall depinning threshold current on pinning profile.

Diffractive processes at the LHC. (2009)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Martin, A., Khoze, V., & Ryskin, M. (2009). Diffractive processes at the LHC. In R. Fiore, I. Ivanov, A. Papa, & J. Soffer (Eds.), Diffraction 2008: International Workshop on Diffraction in High Energy Physics, La Londe-les-Maures, France, 9-14 September 2008 (252-257). https://doi.org/10.1063/1.3122187

We present a model of high energy soft pp interactions that has multi s‐ and t‐channel components, which has been tuned to describe all the available data. The t‐channel components allow matching of the soft to the hard (QCD) Pomeron. Absorptive effe... Read More about Diffractive processes at the LHC..

Indistinguishable macroscopic behaviour of Palatini gravities and general relativity (2009)
Journal Article
Li, B., Mota, D., & Shaw, D. (2009). Indistinguishable macroscopic behaviour of Palatini gravities and general relativity. Classical and Quantum Gravity, 26(5), https://doi.org/10.1088/0264-9381/26/5/055018

We show that, within some modified gravity theories, such as the Palatini models, the nonlinear nature of the field equations implies that the usual naïve averaging procedure (replacing the microscopic energy–momentum by its cosmological average) cou...
