Some Remarks on the Pomeron and the Odderon in Theory and Experiment
نویسنده
چکیده
On March 19-21, 1998, a workshop devoted to questions of the pomeron and the odderon in high energy scattering was held in Heidelberg. This note gives a personal account of some of the issues discussed at this workshop. Of course, misconceptions and misunderstandings are to be blamed on us, not on the other participants of the workshop. A puzzle of odderon physics is identified and a convenient reaction for its experimental study is discussed. [email protected] [email protected]

Searching for odderon in exclusive vector meson hadroproduction
Color neutral gluonic exchanges in high energy hadron scattering are naturally classified according to their C-parity. The C-even component is usually called the Pomeron. It gives the dominant contribution to vast majority of the measured cross-sections at high energies. The C-odd partner of the Pomeron is the odderon. In contrast to the Pomeron, the effects of the odderon are so weak that a co...
متن کاملPomeron Vertices in Perturbative QCD in Diffractive Scattering
We analyse the momentum space triple Pomeron vertex in perturbative QCD. In addition to the standard form of this vertex which is used in the context of total crosssections at high energies and in the QCD reggeon field theory, there exists an alternative form which has to be used in the study of high-mass diffraction. We review and analyse the relation between these two versions. We discuss som...
متن کاملLooking for the Odderon in photon collisions
At high energies amplitudes of reactions with rapidity gaps in hadronic interactions are dominated by the exchange of a color singlet, C-even state – called the Pomeron. In the language of perturbative QCD – at lowest order – the Pomeron can be described as the exchange of two gluons in the color singlet state. In contrast to the very well settled notion of the Pomeron, the status of its C-odd ...
متن کاملPomeron Odderon interference in production of π+π− pairs at LHC
In the context of hadronic interactions, events with rapidity gaps are dominated by the exchange of a C-even color singlet state, called the Pomeron. Within perturbative QCD the Pomeron is built by the exchange of two gluons at lowest order. While the Pomeron has acquired a good standing, the status of its C-odd partner – the Odderon – is less safe. Although it is needed e.g. to describe proper...
متن کاملodderon discovery via observation of charge asymmetry in the diffractive π + π − production at HERA
The interference between the Pomeron and possible odderon mechanisms of diffractive π+π− photoproduction results in charge asymmetry of the produced pions. Without referring to any particular model of the odderon, we establish how the kind of charge asymmetry depends on the helicity structure of Pomeron and odderon mediated production of dipions. Focusing on region Mπ+π− = 1.1 ÷ 1.5 GeV, where ...
