Radiative Effects in Processes of Diffractive Vector Meson Electroproduction
نویسنده
چکیده
The electromagnetic radiative correction to the cross section of the vector meson electroproduction is calculated. Explicit covariant formulae for the observed cross section are obtained. The dependence of the radiative correction on the experimental resolution and on the inelasticity cut is discussed. FORTRAN code DIFFRAD based on both exact (ultrarelativistic) and approximate sets of the formulae for the radiative correction to the cross section is presented. The detailed numerical analysis for kinematical conditions of the recent experiments on the diffractive electroproduction of vector mesons is given.

Coherence Effects in Diffractive Electroproduction of ρ Mesons from Nuclei
A systematic multiple scattering formalism for vector meson electroproduction from nuclei is developed, with emphasis on the formation, propagation and hadronization scales for quark-gluon fluctuations of the virtual high-energy photon. The theory is compared to HERMES measurements of ρ electroproduction on 14 N. The nuclear transparency as a function of the vector meson propagation length is w...
متن کاملThe effect of off-diagonal parton distributions in diffractive vector meson electroproduction
We present a simple physical description of the off-diagonal gluon distribution g(x, x′, Q2) and splitting function Pgg(x, x ′) which enter the amplitude for diffractive vector meson production. We study the off-diagonal effects both on the evolution in Q2 and on the input distribution. We predict the ratio R of the off-diagonal to the diagonal gluon density, x′g(x, x′, Q2)/xg(x,Q2), as a funct...
متن کاملSpin Dependence of Diffractive Vector Meson Production
I review the recent progress in the theory of s-channel helicity nonconservation (SCHNC) effects in diffractive DIS. SCHNC in diffractive vector meson production is an unique probe of the spin-orbit coupling and Fermi motion of quarks in vector mesons. Photoand electroproduction of the φ and its radial and angular excitations at Jlab is perfectly posed to probe SCHNC in QCD pomeron exchange. I ...

We consider the electroproduction of two vector mesons with a large rapidity gap between them on a nucleon target in the process γN → ρ1ρ2N . We calculate the Born term for this process within the collinear factorization framework. The resulting scattering amplitude may be represented as a convolution of an impact factor describing the γ → ρ1 transition and an amplitude describing the N → ρ2N ′...
