Measurements of the Diffractive Structure Function F D ( 3 ) 2 ( β , Q 2 , x IP ) at HERA
نویسنده
چکیده
Recent measurements of the diffractive cross section in deep-inelastic scattering (DIS) at HERA are presented. The data are used to investigate the factorisation properties of diffractive DIS and to examine its quantum chromodynamic (QCD) structure. Models based on the colour dipole approach to DIS are also tested. 1. Diffractive Deep Inelastic Scattering At low x in DIS at HERA, approximately 10% of the

Reggeon and pion contributions in exclusive diffractive processes at HERA
The contributions of subleading f 2 , ω, a 2 and ρ reggeons to the diffractive structure function F D(3) 2 (x IP , β, Q 2) are estimated. In addition we include the pion exchange which was recently found to be responsible for the violation of the Gottfried Sum Rule. The reggeon and pion contributions lead to a violation of the factor-ization of the diffractive structure function. The diffractiv...

The purposes and possibilities of future diffractive structure function measurements at HERA are presented. A review of the current range and accuracy of the measurement of F D(3) 2 (β, xIP , Q ) is presented and an estimate of the precision of future measurements is given. A feasibility study is performed on the measurement of the structure functions F D(4) 2 (β, xIP , Q , t), F 2 charm , R , ...
متن کاملA Measurement of the Diffractive Proton Structure Function F
A measurement is presented of the diffractive proton structure function describing the process ep → eXY , where X and Y represent the hadronic final states into which the exchanged virtual photon and the proton dissociate respectively. The data, with an integrated luminosity of 3.74 pb−1, were collected with unbiased triggers using the H1 detector at the HERA positron proton collider in 1999. T...
متن کاملSoft Colour Interactions and the Diffractive Structure Function
We discuss our model for soft colour interactions and present results on the diffractive structure function F D 2 (β, x IP , Q 2) and inclusive transverse energy flows, which agree with available HERA data. The observation of rapidity gap events at HERA [1, 2] has led to a renewed interest in diffractive phenomena and how they can be understood within QCD. In [3] we presented a new model for di...
متن کاملConstraints on gluon evolution at small x 1
The BFKL and the unified angular-ordered equations are solved to determine the gluon distribution at small x. The impact of kinematic constraints is investigated. Predictions are made for observables sensitive to the gluon at small x. In particular comparison is made with measurements at the HERA electron-proton collider of the proton structure function F 2 (x, Q 2) as a function of ln Q 2 , th...
