Extracting the dipole cross-section from photo- and electro-production total cross-section data

چکیده
We report on a successful attempt to extract the cross-section for the high-energy scattering of colour dipoles of fixed transverse size off protons using electroproduction and photoproduction total crosssection data, subject to the constraint provided by the ratio of the overall photon dissociation cross-section to the total cross-section. 13.60.Hb, 25.20.Lj, 25.30.Rw, 13.38.-t, 24.85.+p, 12.40.Nn On leave of absence from 2 1

Color dipole systematics of diffractive photo- and electroproduction of vector mesons
We present the first evaluation of color dipole cross section from experimental data on diffractive photoand electroproduction of vector mesons. The dipole-size and energy dependence of the found dipole cross section is consistent with expectations from the BFKL dynamics. E-mail: [email protected]
متن کاملElectro and gamma nuclear physics in Geant4
Adequate description of electro and gamma nuclear physics is of utmost importance in studies of electron beam-dumps and intense electron beam accelerators. I also is mandatory to describe neutron backgrounds and activation in linear colliders. This physics was elaborated in Geant4 over the last year, and now entered into the stage of practical application. In the Geant4 Photo-nuclear data base ...

The proton dipole cross section σd is a universal quantity in singly dissociative diffractive γ p processes. It is simply the total cross section for scattering a qq̄ pair of a given size and energy in the photonic fluctuation off the proton target. We make use of a parameterisation used to extract σd from a fit to electroproduction and photoproduction γ p total cross-section data [1] to predict...
متن کاملThe Γ * P Total Cross Section and Elastic Diffraction
The empirical scaling law, wherein the total photoabsorption cross section depends on the single variable η = (Q 2 + m 2 0)/Λ 2 (W 2), provides empirical evidence for saturation in the sense of σγ * p(W 2 , Q 2)/σγp(W 2) → 1 for W 2 → ∞ at fixed Q 2. The total photoabsorption cross section is related to elastic diffraction in terms of a sum rule. The excess of diffractive production over the el...

We employ values of the colour dipole cross section extracted from electropro-duction and photoproduction data to show that gluon saturation effects are not required by the current HERA data but will become important in the THERA energy region. 1 The colour dipole model Singly dissociative diffractive γ p processes are conveniently described in the rest frame of the hadron using a picture in wh...
