Diffractive heavy vector meson photoproduction accompanied by proton dissociation is studied for arbitrary momentum transfer. The process is described by the non-forward BFKL equation, for which a complete analytical solution is found, giving the scattering amplitude. The impact of non-leading corrections to the BFKL equation is also analysed. Results are compared to the HERA data on J/ψ produc...

متن کاملDiffractive vector meson production at large momentum transfer
The diffractive process γp → V + X (where V is a vector meson and X results from the dissociation of the proton) is studied. In particular, we consider the region of large momentum transfer (i.e. |t| ≫ ΛQCD) and large centre-of-mass (CM) energy, s. The asymptotic (s → ∞, s/|t| ≫ 1) behaviour is derived from the BFKL equation and compared to that which is obtained in the Born approximation (two-...
متن کاملScanning 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...
