Diffractive Hard Scattering with a Coherent Pomeron
نویسندگان
چکیده
Diffractive scattering involves exchange of a Pomeron to make a rapidity gap. It is normally assumed that to get a hard scattering in diffraction, one may treat the Pomeron as an ordinary particle, which has distributions of gluons and quarks. We show that this is not so: When we use perturbative QCD, there is a breakdown of the factorization theorem. The whole Pomeron can initiate the hard scattering, even though it is not point-like. Qualitatively, but not quantitatively, this gives the same effect as a delta function term in the gluon density in a Pomeron.

Buchmüller Scaling, the QCD Pomeron, and Tevatron Diffractive Hard Scattering
We discuss the observed scaling of the small-x diffractive and total deepinelastic structure functions at HERA. We argue that the parton interpretation of Buchmüller and Hebecker can be understood within QCD as the appearance of the Pomeron in a Super-Critical phase. In diffractive hard scattering, the Pomeron appears as reggeized gluon exchange in a color-compensating background field. The for...
متن کاملProduction in Polarized pp Scattering with Polarized Gluon Distribution in the Proton
Based on the hard-scattering factorization which decomposes the diffractive structure function into a pomeron flux and a pomeron structure function, we study the single diffractive Λc production in polarized pp scattering: p + ~p → p + ~ Λc + X, which will be observed at forthcoming RHIC experiment. By analyzing the cross section and correlation of the spin polarization between the initial prot...
متن کاملDouble Pomeron Jet Cross Sections
We treat hadron-hadron collisions where the final state is kinematically of the kind associated with double-pomeron-exchange (DPE) and has large transverse momentum jets. We show that in addition to the conventional factorized (FDPE) contribution, there is a non-factorized (NDPE) contribution which has no pomeron beam jet. Within a simple model we compute DPE-two-jet total and differential cros...
متن کاملSurvivial Probability for Higgs Diffractive Production in High Density Qcd
The BFKL pomeron loop diagram is calculated for the diffractive Higgs production. In order to do this the exact expression for the Triple Pomeron Vertex is calculated using the QCD dipole picture.The estimated value for the survival probability (S) is given. It was found that the hard pomeron scattering process contributes substantially in S.
متن کاملDiffractive Hard Scattering
Diffraction is an old subject which has received much interest in recent years due to the advent of diffractive hard scattering. We discuss some theoretical models and experimental results that have shown new striking effects, e.g. rapidity gaps in jet and W production and in deep inelastic scattering. Many aspects can be described through the exchange of a pomeron with a parton content, but th...
