DIPSI: a Monte Carlo generator for elastic vector meson production in charged lepton-proton scattering
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a Monte Carlo generator for exclusive vector meson production in charged lepton-proton interactions, l + p → l + p + V , based on a QCD leading logarithm model calculation according to which the cross section for this process is proportional to the square of the gluon momentum density in the proton. The generator can be used for both fixed target and collider kinematics. Each event is assigned a weight equal to its cross section, so that the independent variables can be generated according to convenient distributions, not necessarily identical to the physics ones.

Multi-lepton Production at High Transverse Momentum in ep collisions at HERA
Within the Standard Model (SM) the production of multilepton events in ep collisions is possible mainly through photon-photon interactions, where quasi-real photons radiated from the incident electron and proton interact to produce a pair of leptons γγ → ll [4]. The GRAPE Monte Carlo generator [5] interfaced to full detector simulation has been used to simulate multilepton production. This gene...
متن کاملVector meson cross sections at HERA
Fig. 1. Schematic picture of inelastic (a) and elastic (b) vector meson leptoproduction Vector mesons can be produced in two different ways in lepton proton scattering, in so-called inelastic processes, where the proton breaks, or elastic (exclusive) processes, where the incoming proton stays intact. The different production mechanisms are shown schematically in Fig. 1. They suggest that the cr...
متن کاملELRADGEN: Monte Carlo generator for radiative events in elastic electron–proton scattering
We discuss the theoretical approach and practical algorithms for simulation of radiative events in elastic ep–scattering. A new Monte Carlo generator for real photon emission events in the process of elastic electron–proton scattering is presented. We perform a few consistency checks and present numerical results.
متن کاملMonte Carlo Implementations of Diffraction at HERA 1
The Monte Carlo implementation of different approaches for diffractive scattering in e − p collisions (resolved IP , pQCD, soft color interactions) is described, with emphasis on the construction of the hadronic final state. Simple models for proton dissociation and exclusive vector meson production are described. A comparison of the different approaches is given.
متن کاملFour Momentum Transfer Discrepancy in the Charged Current π+ Production in the MiniBooNE: Data vs. Theory
The MiniBooNE experiment has collected what is currently the world’s largest sample of νμ charged current single charged pion (CC1π+) interactions, roughly 46,000 events. The purity of the CC1π+ sample is 87% making this the purest event sample observed in the MiniBooNE detector [1]. The average energy of neutrinos producing CC1π+ interactions in MiniBooNE is about 1 GeV [2], therefore the stud...
