Diffractive Dijet and Charm Production at Hera
Jet and charm quark production in diffractive interactions is sensitive to the partonic structure of the diffractive exchange. This article reviews recent cross section measurements of such processes in both deep-inelastic scattering (DIS) regime and photoproduction (PHP) from the HERA ep collider experiments. The cross sections are compared to next-to-leading order QCD calculations based on fa...
متن کاملHard Photoproduction at HERA
In view of possible photoproduction studies in ultraperipheral heavy-ion collisions at the LHC, we briefly review the present theoretical understanding of photons and hard photoproduction processes at HERA, discussing the production of jets, light and heavy hadrons, quarkonia, and prompt photons. We address in particular the extraction of the strong coupling constant from photon structure funct...
متن کاملMeasurement of D∗± diffractive cross sections in photoproduction at HERA
The first measurement of D∗± meson diffractive photoproduction cross sections has been performed with the ZEUS detector at the HERA ep collider, using an integrated luminosity of 38 pb−1. The measurement has been performed for photon– proton center-of-mass energies in the range 130 < W < 280 GeV and photon virtualities Q2 < 1 GeV2. D∗± mesons have been reconstructed with p ∗ T > 2 GeV and −1.5 ...
متن کاملMeson Production and Spectroscopy at Hera *
Selected recent results from the H1 and ZEUS experiments are reviewed, illustrating some of the many facets of “meson physics” at the HERA ep collider. The results cover exclusive elastic and proton-dissociative diffractive vector meson production and comparisons with recent theoretical calculations show that perturbative QCD models are successful in describing these processes when at least one...
متن کاملCharm production at HERA
The HERA collider circulates beams of electrons (positrons) and protons at energies of 27.5 and 820GeV respectively. The ep centre of mass energy for collisions between the beams is 300GeV. The largest cross-section processes observed in these collisions are photoproduction reactions, where the e beam acts as a source of almost real (Q ≪ 1GeV) photons. Processes where a virtual photon of sizeab...
