The Perturbative Odderon in Quasidiffractive Photon-Photon Scattering
نویسنده
چکیده
We study the perturbative Odderon in the quasidiffractive process γγ → ηcηc. At high energies this process is dominated by Odderon exchange and can be viewed as the theoretically cleanest test of the perturbative Odderon. We calculate the differential and total cross section, as well as the dependence on the energy and on the photon virtualities taking into account the effects of resummation of logarithms of the energy. The results are compared with those obtained with a simple exchange of three noninteracting gluons. We present the expected cross section for this process at a future Linear Collider and discuss implications for other processes involving the perturbative Odderon. a email: [email protected] b email: [email protected]

Odderon and Photon exchange in pseudoscalar meson production
We consider exclusive π production in ep-scattering. At high energies odderon and photon exchange contribute. The photon exchange contribution is evaluated exactly using data for the total virtual photon-proton absorption cross section. The odderon exchange contribution is calculated in nonperturbative QCD, using functional integral techniques and the model of the stochastic vacuum. For the pro...
متن کاملLooking for the Odderon in photon collisions
At high energies amplitudes of reactions with rapidity gaps in hadronic interactions are dominated by the exchange of a color singlet, C-even state – called the Pomeron. In the language of perturbative QCD – at lowest order – the Pomeron can be described as the exchange of two gluons in the color singlet state. In contrast to the very well settled notion of the Pomeron, the status of its C-odd ...
متن کاملSINGLE PSEUDOSCALAR MESON PRODUCTION IN DIFFRACTIVE ep SCATTERING
Exclusive pseudoscalar meson production in ep scattering at high energies is a direct probe for a possible “odderon” exchange in soft hadronic processes. Using a simple phenomenological ansatz for the odderon, we demonstrate how it can be separated from the contribution due to photon-photon fusion, and the relevant parameters be measured. Total cross sections and differential distributions are ...
متن کاملPomeron Odderon interference in production of π+π− pairs at LHC
In the context of hadronic interactions, events with rapidity gaps are dominated by the exchange of a C-even color singlet state, called the Pomeron. Within perturbative QCD the Pomeron is built by the exchange of two gluons at lowest order. While the Pomeron has acquired a good standing, the status of its C-odd partner – the Odderon – is less safe. Although it is needed e.g. to describe proper...
