An intermediate and high energy scattering approximation is developed by approximating the sum of intermediate states of the target system and expanding the free particle propagator. The resulting expression plays the role of an optical potential and reduces to the eikonal approximation if the average of the excitation energy for the intermediate states is negligible in comparison with the energy of the incident particle.

We review the present status of the theory of high energy reactions with semi-exclusive nucleon electro-production from nuclear targets. We demonstrate how the increase of transferred energies in these reactions opens a completely new window for study of the microscopic nuclear structure at small distances. The simplifications in theoretical descriptions associated with the increase in the energies are discussed. The theoretical framework for calculation of high energy nuclear reactions based on the effective Feynman diagram rules is described in detail. The result of this approach is the generalized eikonal approximation (GEA), which is reduced to the Glauber approximation when nucleon recoil is neglected. The method of GEA is demonstrated in the calculation of high energy electro-disintegration of the deuteron and A=3 targets. Subsequently, we generalize the obtained formulae for A>3 nuclei. The relation of GEA to the Glauber theory is analyzed. Then, based on the GEA framework we discuss some of the phenomena which can be studied in exclusive reactions: nuclear transparency and short-range correlations in nuclei. We illustrate how light-cone dynamics of high-energy scattering emerge naturally in high energy electro-nuclear reactions.

A quantum theory of the rates of momentum and energy loss by a fast electron to the optic modes of a polar crystal as a function of time elapsed since injection of the fast electron is developed. A nonequilibrium Green function technique is used to formulate the problem, and permits inclusion of quantum interference between the individual phonon processes. An approximation, which has been called the eikonal approximation in high energy scattering and is valid when the fractional electron energy loss in a single phonon collision is small, enables us to sum the resulting diagrams. The relationship of this method to a Boltzmann equation approach is discussed.

In this paper, the nonperturbative parton distributions, obtained from the Lorentz contracted wave functions, are analyzed in the formalism of many-particle Fock components and their properties are compared to the standard perturbative distributions. We show that the collinear and IR divergencies specific for perturbative evolution treatment are absent in the nonperturbative version, however for large momenta [Formula: see text] (string tension), the bremsstrahlung kinematics is restored. A preliminary discussion of possible nonperturbative effects in DIS and high energy scattering is given, including in particular a possible role of multihybrid states in creating ridge-type effects.
