Diffractive Production of Vector Mesons at Large t
نویسندگان
چکیده
The cross section for elastic vector meson production in photon-proton interactions at large t is considered using the exact analytic solution of the BFKL equation in the azimuthally symmetric n = 0 limit. We use a non-relativistic model for the vector meson production and find a small shrinkage in the t-distribution with increasing energy.

The QCD description of diffractive processes
We review the application of perturbative QCD to diffractive processes. We introduce the two gluon exchange model to describe diffractive q ¯ q and q ¯ qg production in deep inelastic scattering. We study the triple Regge limit and briefly consider multiple gluon exchange. We discuss diffractive vector meson production at HERA both at t = 0 and large |t|. We demonstrate the non-factorization of...
متن کاملDiffractive Photoproduction of Heavy Vector Mesons
Diffractive vector meson production is described on the one hand within the phenomenological framework based on Regge theory, and on the other hand by perturbative QCD calculations. Light vector mesons in the photoproduction regime (where no hard scale is present) agree well with non-perturbative Regge based descriptions. Perturbative effects are measured in the presence of a hard scale for lig...
متن کاملDiffractive production of S and D wave vector mesons in Deep Inelastic Scattering
In this work the production of vector mesons in diffractive DIS is analyzed, with an emphasis on the impact of the internal spin structure of a vector meson upon its virtual photoproduction rate. For the first time, the full sets of s-channel helicity conserving and violating amplitudes were derived for pure S and D wave vector mesons. In the course of analytical and numerical investigation, we...
متن کاملDiffractive vector mesons at large momentum transfer from the BFKL equation ∗
Diffractive vector meson photoproduction accompanied by proton dis-sociation is studied for large momentum transfer. The process is described by the non-forward BFKL equation, for which an analytical solution is found for all conformal spins, giving the scattering amplitude. Results are compared to HERA data on ρ production. Diffractive production of vector mesons in γp collisions at large mome...
متن کاملImpact of Saturation on S-channel Helicity Nonconservation for Diffractive Vector Mesons
As Glauber has shown in 1959, the spin-flip phenomena caused by the conventional spin-orbit interaction do vanish in the scattering off heavy, strongly absorbing nuclei. On the other hard,the origin of the s-channel helicity nonconservation (SCHNC) in diffractive DIS is of the origin different from simple spin-orbit interaction, and here we demonstrate that SCHNC in vector meson production surv...
