The QCD description of diffractive processes
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 diffractive processes at hadron colliders.

I discuss the construction of the effective action for QCD suitable for the description of high-energy and small momentum transfer diffractive processes.
متن کاملUnified Picture of Dis and Diffractive Dis
The QCD dipole picture allows to build an unified theoretical description -based on BFKL dynamicsof the total and diffractive nucleon structure functions. We use a four parameter fit to describe the 1994 H1 proton structure function F2 data in the low x, moderate Q2 range. Without any additional parameter, the gluon density and the longitudinal structure functions are predicted. The diffractive...
متن کاملDiffraction at small M 2 / Q 2 in the QCD dipole picture
Using the QCD dipole picture of BFKL dynamics, the quasi elastic component of the diffractive γ∗-dipole cross-section, dominating at small M2/Q2, is calculated. 1. Diffraction dissociation of virtual photons, a process being on the border line between the perturbative and non-perturbative regions, represents a challenging problem for Quantum Chromodynamics [1]. It is therefore of no surprise th...
متن کاملExclusive diffractive electroproduction of dijets in collinear factorization
Exclusive electroproduction of hard dijets can be described within the collinear factorization. This process has clear experimental signature and provides one with an interesting alternative venue to test QCD description of hard diffractive processes and extract information on generalized nucleon parton distributions. In this work we present detailed leading-order QCD calculations of the releva...
متن کاملHard Exclusive and Diffractive Processes in QCD
Exclusive and semi-exclusive processes, the diffractive dissociation of hadrons into jets, and hard diffractive processes such as vector meson leptoproduction provide new testing grounds for QCD and essential information on the structure of light-cone wavefunctions of hadrons, particularly the pion distribution amplitude. I review the basic features of the leading-twist QCD predictions and the ...
