Running Coupling Evolution for Diffractive Dissociation and the NLO Odderon Intercept

Abstract

We summarize the results of including running coupling corrections into the nonlinear evolution equation for diffractive dissociation. We also document a prediction that the NLO QCD odderon intercept is zero resulting from a discussion at the Diffraction 2012 Workshop.
