Forward π 0 trigger of the deep inelastic + jet probe of BFKL dynamics

چکیده
We predict the rate of deep inelastic scattering (DIS) events containing an identified forward π 0 that is expected in the experiments at the HERA electron-proton collider, in order to see if this process can be used as an indicator of the underlying small x dynamics. We determine the background due to deep inelastic events containing forward photons which are fragments of the forward jet. We compare the DIS + π 0 cross section with that of the DIS + parent jet process.

Single particle spectra in deep inelastic scattering as a probe of small x dynamics
We study the transverse momentum (pT ) spectrum of charged particles produced in deep inelastic scattering (DIS) at small Bjorken x in the central region between the current jet and the proton remnants. We calculate the spectrum at large pT with the BFKL ln(1/x) resummation included and then repeat the calculation with it omitted. We find that data favour the former. We normalize our BFKL predi...
متن کاملDi erences between Monte Carlo models for DIS at small - x and the relation to BFKL dynamics
The diierences between two standard Monte Carlo models, Lepto and Ari-adne, for deep inelastic scattering at small-x is analysed in detail. It is shown that the diierence arises from a `unorthodox' suppression factor used in Ari-adne which replaces the normal ratio of parton densities. This gives rise to a factor that qualitatively is similar to what one would expect from BFKL dynamics for some...
متن کاملDeep inelastic events containing two forward jets at HERA
We use the BFKL equation to calculate the rate of deep inelastic scattering events containing two forward jets (adjacent to the proton remnants) at HERA. We compare the production of two forward jets with that of only one forward jet (the “Mueller” process). We obtain a stable prediction for this two to one jet ratio, which may serve as a measure of the BFKL vertex function.

It has been found that recent results on forward jet production from deep inelastic scattering can neither be reproduced by models which are based on leading order αs QCD matrix elements and parton showers nor by next-toleading order calculations. The measurement of forward jet cross sections has been suggested as a promising probe of new small x parton dynamics and the question is whether thes...
