How to measure the intercept of the BFKL pomeron at HERA

چکیده
Determination of the intercept of the BFKL pomeron is one of the pressing issues in the high energy physics. Earlier we have shown that, at the dipole size r = r∆ = (0.1− 0.2)f, the dipole cross section σ(x, r) which is a solution of the generalized BFKL equation, exhibits a precocious asymptotic behavior σ(x, r) ∝ ( 1 x )∆IP . In this paper we discuss how measuring FL(x,Q ) and ∂FT (x,Q )/∂ logQ at Q = (10 − 40)GeV and Q = (2 − 10)GeV, respectively, one can probe σ(x, r∆) and directly determine the intercept ∆IP of the BFKL pomeron in the HERA experiments.

Scanning the BFKL pomeron in elastic production of vector mesons at HERA
Elastic production of vector mesons γ∗N → V N is the pomeron-exchange dominated diffractive reaction with much potential of probing the BFKL pomeron. The BFKL pomeron can conveniently be described in terms of the dipole cross section which is a solution of the generalized BFKL equation. In this paper we discuss, how the energy and Q dependence of elastic production of vector mesons at HERA will...
متن کاملPomeron intercept from BFKL gluon dynamics in deep inelastic charm production at HERA
In the framework of semihard (kT factorization) QCD approach, we consider the differential cross sections of D∗± meson production at HERA. The consideration is based on BFKL and CCFM gluon distributions. We find that in the case of BFKL LO gluon distribution the theoretical results are sensitive to the Pomeron intercept parameter ∆. We present a comparison of the theoretical results with availa...
متن کاملDeep inelastic scattering at HERA and the BFKL pomeron
We present a BFKL phenomenology of structure functions in the framework of the generalized BFKL equation for the dipole cross section proposed by us recently. We show that the HERA measurements of excitation of charm at Q ∼ <10 GeV 2 allow determination of the intercept of the BFKL pomeron. A comparison with the experimental data suggests a large contribution from the nonperturbative cross sect...

We present and discuss two different topics where Tevatron and HERA data can be compared directly. A method allowing for a direct comparison of data with theoretical predictions is proposed for forward jet production at HERA. An application to the determination of the effective Pomeron intercept in the BFKL-LO parametrization from dσ/dx data at HERA leads to a good fit with a significantly high...
متن کاملThe intercept of the BFKL pomeron from Forward Jets at HERA
Recently the H1 and ZEUS collaborations have presented cross sections for DIS events with a forward jet. The BFKL formalism is able to produce an excellent fit to these data. The extracted intercept of the hard pomeron suggests that when all higher order corrections are taken into account the cross section will still rise very rapidly as expected for low x dynamics.
