Combined Measurement of the Inclusive Diffractive Cross Section at HERA
نویسنده
چکیده
A combination is presented of the inclusive diffractive cross section measurements made by the H1 and ZEUS Collaborations at HERA. The analysis uses diffractive deep inelastic scattering data selected by means of proton spectrometers. Correlations of systematic uncertainties are taken into account by the combination method, resulting in improved precision.

متن کاملTowards a Combined HERA Diffractive Deep Inelastic Scattering Measurement
Abstract The diffractive dissociation of virtual photons, γp → Xp, has been studied with the H1 and ZEUS detectors at HERA using various complementary techniques. Events have been selected by direct tagging of the outgoing proton or by requiring a large rapidity gap between the proton and the system X. The diffractive contribution has also been unfolded by decomposition of the inclusive hadroni...

A high precision inclusive measurement of the diffractive deep inelastic scattering (DIS) process ep → eXY is presented, where Y is a proton or a low mass proton ex-citation carrying a fraction 1 − x IP > 0.95 of the beam longitudinal momentum and the squared 4-momentum transfer at the proton vertex t > −1 GeV 2. The measurement, based on an integrated luminosity of 10.6 pb −1 , is presented in...

The diffractive dissociation of virtual photons, γ * p → Xp, has been studied in ep interactions at HERA with the H1 and ZEUS detectors. The data are presented in terms of the diffractive structure function F D 2 and of the diffractive cross sections dσ/dt and dσ/dMX. The t-dependence of the cross section is measured. The Pomeron intercepts extracted from diffractive and inclusive ep interactio...
متن کاملTowards the Theory of Diffractive DIS∗
The large rapidity gap events, observed at HERA, have changed considerably our physical picture of deep inelastic scattering during the past years. We review the present theoretical understanding of diffractive DIS with emphasis on the close relation to inclusive DIS. This includes success and limitations of the leading twist description, the connection between diffractive and inclusive parton ...
