Formation of color-singlet gluon-clusters and inelastic diffractive scattering

This talk is a brief summary of three papers [1-3] written at the FU Berlin . A systematic data analysis of single diffractive scattering data shows th at the colorless objects which manifest themselves in these reactions are c olor-singlet gluon-clusters formed as a consequence oi self-organized criti cality in the complex system of gluons inside the proton. This knowledge ca n be used to obtain simple analytical formulae for the corresponding differ ential cross sections, in particular their t-dependence. As a consequence m eson radii can be extracted from inelastic diffractive scattering data.
