Qcd Factorization for the Pion Diffractive Dissociation into Two Jets
نویسنده
چکیده
We report a detailed study of the process of pion diffraction dissociation into two jets with large transverse momenta. We find that the standard collinear factorization does not hold in this reaction. The structure of non-factorizable contributions is discussed and the results are compared with the experimental data. Our conclusion is that the existing theoretical uncertainties do not allow, for the time being, for a quantitative extraction of the pion distribution amplitude.

متن کاملDiffractive Dissociation of High Momentum Pions
The diffractive dissociation of 500 GeV/c π− into di-jets is described as a way to measure the momentum distribution of quarks in the pion. The measurements of the pion diffractive dissociation were carried out using data from Fermilab E791. Preliminary results show that the |qq̄〉 Asymptotic wave function which was developed using perturbative QCD methods describes the data well for Q2 ∼ 10 (GeV...
متن کاملQCD factorization for the pion diffractive dissociation to two jets
We calculate the cross section of a pion diffraction dissociation in two jets with large transverse momenta originating from a hard gluon exchange between the pion constituents. To the leading logarithmic accuracy (in energy), the contribution coming from small transverse separations between the quark and the antiquark in the pion acquires the expected factorized form, the longitudinal momentum...
متن کاملCoulomb dissociation of a fast pion into two jets
We calculate the electromagnetic contribution to the scattering amplitude of pion diffractive dissociation into di-jets which is described by one photon exchange. The result shows that the factorization procedure known for the description of exclusive reactions holds also for this quasi-exclusive process. We find that the longitudinal momentum distribution of di-jets does not depend on the form...
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 ...
