The Bfkl Pomeron: Can It Be Detected?
نویسنده
چکیده
An estimate is derived for the absolute magnitude of BFKL pomeron exchange at t = 0. The analysis takes account of energy conservation and of the need realistically to model nonperturbative contributions to the BFKL integral from infrared regions. Experiment finds that there is little or no room for a significant BFKL term in soft processes, and this constrains its magnitude in hard and semihard processes, so that it is unlikely to be detectable.

The Bfkl Pomeron: Can It Be Detected? Damtp 96/47
The BFKL pomeron is swamped by the soft pomeron, at least at t = 0. Figure 1 shows data for the pp and ¯ pp total cross-sections. The curves 1 corrrespond to the exchange of the ρ, ω, f, a trajectories, whose contribution falls with increasing energy approximately as 1/ √ s, and a rising soft-pomeron-exchange term which rises as s 0.08. There is a clear disagreement between the two Tevatron dat...
متن کاملThe γ ∗ γ ∗ Total Cross Section and the BFKL Pomeron at e + e − Colliders
We present a numerical estimate of the γ∗γ∗ total cross section at LEP and at the designed e+e− Next Linear Collider (NLC), based upon the BFKL Pomeron. We find for the linear collider that the event rate is substantial provided electrons scattered under small angles can be detected, and a measurement of this cross section provides an excellent test of the BFKL Pomeron. For LEP, although the nu...
متن کاملThe BFKL Pomeron Calculus in zero transverse dimensions: summation of Pomeron loops and generating functional for the multiparticle production processes
In this paper we address two problems in the BFKL Pomeron calculus in zero transverse dimensions: the summation of the Pomeron loops and the calculation of the processes of multiparticle generation. We introduce a new generating functional for these processes and obtain the evolution equation for it. We argue that in the kinematic range given by 1 ≪ ln(1/αS) ≪ αS Y ≪ 1 αS , we can reduce the Po...
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...
متن کاملHigh Energy Scattering in Qcd: Dipole Approach with Pomeron Loops
The simplest approach that we can propose for high energy interaction is based 1,2 on the BFKL Pomeron 3 and reggeon-like diagram technique for the BFKL Pomeron interactions . This technique which is a generalization of Gribov Reggeon Calculus , can be written in the elegant form of the functional integral (see Ref. 5 and the next section); and it is a challenge to solve this theory in QCD find...
