Recent Low x and Diffractive Collider Data
نویسنده
چکیده
Selected recent data from collider experiments pertaining to the understanding of QCD at low Bjorken-x are reviewed. The status of QCD and Regge factorisation in hard diffractive interactions is discussed in terms of data from HERA and the Tevatron. The possibility of anomalous behaviour in the γγ total cross section is confronted with the most recent measurements from LEP. Data from all three colliders that are sensitive to possible BFKL effects are presented and different interpretations are discussed. PACS numbers: 00.00, 20.00, 42.10

Coherent and incoherent diffractive hadron production in pA collisions and gluon saturation
We study coherent and incoherent diffractive hadron production in high-energy quarkonium–heavy nucleus collisions as a probe of the gluon saturation regime of quantum chromodynamics. Taking this process as a model for pA collisions, we argue that the coherent diffractive gluon production, in which the target nucleus stays intact, exhibits a remarkable sensitivity to the energy, rapidity, and at...
متن کاملDiffractive PDFs and factorisation tests at HERA
The HERA collider at DESY (Hamburg) has provided Deep Inelastic Scattering (DIS) of electrons off protons in the years 1992-2007 for the H1 and ZEUS experiments with a centre of mass energy up to 318 GeV. Diffractive dissociation of photons in the reaction γ(∗) p → X p, constitute a large fraction (∼ 10%) of the visible cross section in deep inelastic scattering (DIS), and the process can be se...
متن کاملInclusive Diffraction at Hera
New precision measurements of inclusive diffractive deep-inelastic ep scattering interactions, performed by the H1 and ZEUS collaborations at the HERA collider, are discussed. A new set of diffractive parton distributions, determined from recent high precision H1 data, is presented.
متن کاملProbing the low-x structure of nuclear matter with diffractive hadron production in pA collisions
We argue that hadron production in coherent diffraction of protons on a heavy nucleus provides a very sensitive probe of the low-x QCD dynamics. This process probes the BFKL dynamics in protons and the nonlinear gluon evolution in nuclei. We calculate the diffractive hadron production cross sections in the BNL Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) and CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC) kinematic...
متن کاملDiffraction and Exclusive ( Higgs ? ) Production from CDF to LHC
The diffractive program of the CDF Collaboration at the Fermilab Tevatron pp̄ Collider is reviewed with emphasis on recent results from Run II at √ s =1.96 TeV. Results are presented on the x-Bjorken and Q dependence of the diffractive structure function obtained from dijet production, on the slope parameter of the t-distribution of diffractive events as a function of Q in the range 1 GeV < Q < ...
