A discussion of the Glauber and Blankenbecler–Goldberger impact parameter representation for the scattering amplitude is presented with emphasis on the wave function approach. The treatment makes clear the relationship between the approximations made to derive either of the two amplitudes. Both on-energy-shell and off-energy-shell scatterings are treated. A derivation of the two representations in momentum space is presented bringing out the relationship between the approximations in a coordinate space treatment and the momentum space treatment.

We construct a coherent-model amplitude for n-particle production, which gives rise to the multiplicity distribution <n>Pn = KK/Γ(K)(n/<n>K−1e−K(n/<n>). A natural feature is a new interpretation of the parameter K in terms of an energy-dependent minimum length for a multitude of string-like entities which are stretched forward and backward along the collision direction, over the entire impact-parameter plane. The continuous decrease of K with increasing [Formula: see text] corresponds to the appearance of strings of decreasing length, which leads directly to a continuous broadening of the multiplicity distribution through the emission, with significant probability, of large numbers of, presumably soft, particles.

A global analysis of the latest diffractive deep inelastic scattering (DIS) data with gluon number fluctuations and impact parameter is performed. The impact parameter is introduced into the scattering amplitude by saturation scale with a Gaussian b-dependence. The results show that the description of the diffractive DIS data is improved once the gluon number fluctuations and impact parameter are included, with [Formula: see text]/d.o.f = 0.878, [Formula: see text]/d.o.f = 0.928 and [Formula: see text]/d.o.f = 0.897 in different sets of free parameters. Moreover, we find that the impact parameter ([Formula: see text] 0.1) is possibly compressed by the gluon number fluctuations, which leads to the value of saturation exponent returning to [Formula: see text] 0.2. This outcome is compatible with the prediction that the saturation exponent is dominated by the fluctuations at sufficiently high energy, which may indicate the possibility of gluon number fluctuations in diffractive DIS data.

We show that Gribov diffusion of the partons in the impact parameter plane, which leads to the square-root-of-logarithmic growth of the transverse size of the hadrons, can occur only simultaneously with a similar diffusion in the transverse-momentum space. At the same time, a restriction of the partons in the transverse momenta entails an increase in their propagation in the impact parameter plane. Ultimately this leads to a logarithmic growth of the transverse size of hadrons at asymptotically high energies.

On the basis of requirements of unitarity and analyticity we analyze the real and imaginary parts of the scattering amplitude at recent ultrahigh energies, [Formula: see text]. The predictions for the region [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] are given supposing the black disk asymptotic regime. It turns out that the real part of the amplitude is concentrated in the impact parameter space at the border of the black disk.
