PHYSIQUE DE L'ODDÉRON
I am the founder (in collaboration with the Polish physicist Leszek Lukaszuk)
of a new domain of strong interactions, known under the name of Odderon.
Several PhD thesis, having as subject the Odderon, were sustained these last
years at the University of Heidelberg (Tobias Golling, Tania Robens, Volker
Schatz et Oliver Nix). Finally, an important review on the Odderon was
published: Carlo Ewerz, The Odderon in Quantum Chromodynamics, hep-
ph/0306137. In this paper, all my works are analyzed and discussed.
