The Interpretation of Rapidity Gaps at Hera
نویسندگان
چکیده
In leading twist deep inelastic ep scattering, the virtual photon interaction is fast compared to the time scale of soft color rearrangement. We compare the Pomeron exchange model, in which a neutral cluster is preformed, with a gluon exchange model, in which color is exchanged after the hard interaction. We find several features of the DIS data and of data on exclusive hard processes that favor a gluon exchange scenario. If correct, the postulate of soft color interactions between the produced (qq̄) system and the target has important implications for other processes. In particular, this may explain the puzzles of charmonium hadroproduction. ∗Permanent address: McGill University, Montreal, Canada

We present a new mechanism for the creation of large rapidity gaps in DIS events at HERA. Soft colour interactions between perturbatively produced partons and colour-charges in the proton remnant, modifies the colour structure for hadronization giving colour singlet systems that are well separated in rapidity. An explicit model is presented that, although the detailed results depend on the init...
متن کاملRapidity Gaps between Jets in Photoproduction at Hera H1 Collaboration
Photoproduction events which have two or more jets with transverse energy E T > 4:5 GeV have been studied in the p centre of mass energy range 158 GeV < W < 247 GeV with the H1 detector at HERA. The fraction f (() of events with a rapidity gap between the two highest E T jets is measured as a function of the rapidity separation between the jet axes. A gap is deened as the absence between the je...
متن کامل0 Rapidity gaps at HERA and the Tevatron from soft colour exchanges †
Models based on soft colour exchanges to rearrange colour strings in the final state provide a general framework for both diffractive and non-diffractive events in ep and hadron-hadron collisions. We study two such models and find that they can reproduce rapidity gap data from both HERA and the Tevatron. We also discuss the influence of parton cascades and multiple interactions on the results. ...

متن کاملDiffraction at Hera and Implications for Tevatron and Lhc
We describe new QCD fits to diffractive cross sections measured at HERA and we use the parton densities derived from these fits to predict the shape of the dijet mass fraction in double Pomeron exchange at the Tevatron. We discuss the existence of exclusive events in this dijet channel and some prospects are given for the LHC. One of the most important experimental results from the DESY ep coll...
متن کاملProbabilities of rapidity gaps in high energy interactions
We show that high energy hadronic reactions which contain a rapidity gap and a hard subprocess have a specific dependence on the kinematic variables, which results in a characteristic behaviour of the survival probability of the gap. We incorporate this mechanism in a two-channel eikonal model to make an essentially parameter-free estimate of diffractive dijet production at the Tevatron, given ...
