Small x resummation and the Odderon
نویسنده
چکیده
We present a general argument which suggests that the Bartels-LipatovVacca Odderon intercept should be equal to one to all orders in the perturbation theory. The argument is based on the validity of the so called omega-expansion in the high energy limit. It can be further supported by the analogous pattern observed in the case of the anomalous dimensions which is a consequence of the momentum sum rule. In addition, we conjecture that the BFKL kernel should satisfy the transverse momentum sum rule. Finally, it is shown that the higher order kinematical effects do not change the BLV Odderon intercept.

The Perturbative Odderon in Quasidiffractive Photon-Photon Scattering
We study the perturbative Odderon in the quasidiffractive process γγ → ηcηc. At high energies this process is dominated by Odderon exchange and can be viewed as the theoretically cleanest test of the perturbative Odderon. We calculate the differential and total cross section, as well as the dependence on the energy and on the photon virtualities taking into account the effects of resummation of...
متن کاملThe perturbative odderon in elastic pp and pp̄ scattering
The evidence for the existance of an odderon [1] remains scarce. To date, the best evidence comes from the differential cross section in elastic pp and pp̄ scattering. The pp data show a dip structure at −t ≈ 1.3 GeV while the pp̄ data only flatten off at that point. The odderon, being odd under charge conjugation, couples with different signs to protons and antiprotons and can hence account for ...

The sensitivity of the spin dependence of high energy pp scattering, particularly the asymmetry A N N , to the odderon is demonstrated. Several possible ways of determining the spin dependence of the odderon coupling from small-t data are presented.
متن کاملNonlinear evolution of pomeron and odderon in momentum space
The small x evolution of the QCD pomeron and the QCD odderon is investigated in the mean field limit of the Color Glass Condensate. The resulting system of coupled nonlinear evolution equations is transformed to the momentum space and analyzed at a very small momentum transfer. The main properties of the C-even and C-odd dipole densities in momentum space are obtained analytically. The critical...
متن کاملParton distributions with small-x resummation: evidence for BFKL dynamics in HERA data
We present a determination of the parton distribution functions of the proton in which NLO and NNLO fixed-order calculations are supplemented by NLLx small-x resummation. Deep inelastic structure functions are computed consistently at NLO+NLLx or NNLO+NLLx, while for hadronic processes small-x resummation is included only in the PDF evolution, with kinematic cuts introduced to ensure the fitted...
