Holographic Double Diffractive Scattering
نویسندگان
چکیده
The holographic description of Pomeron exchange in a strongly-coupled gauge theory with an AdS dual is extended to the case of two to three scattering. We study the production event of a central particle via hadron-hadron scattering in the double Regge kinematic regime of large center-of-momentum energy and fixed momentum transfer. The computation reduces to the overlap of a holographic wave function for the central particle with a source function for the Pomerons. The formalism is applied to scalar glueball production and the resulting amplitude is studied in various kinematic limits.

Factorization and Non-factorization in Diffractive Hard Scattering
Factorization, in the sense defined for inclusive hard scattering, is discussed for diffractive hard scattering. A factorization theorem similar to its inclusive counterpart is presented for diffractive DIS. For hadron-hadron diffractive hard scattering, in contrast to its inclusive counterpart, the expected breakdown of factorization is discussed. Cross section estimates are given from a simpl...
متن کاملThe diffractive structure function at the Tevatron: CDF results
Results on hard diffraction from CDF are reviewed with emphasis on the determination of the diffractive structure function of the (anti)proton from single diffractive and double Pomeron exchange dijet production. Comparison of the diffractive dijet results with predictions based on diffractive deep inelastic scattering at HERA shows a breakdown of conventional QCD factorization. A similar break...
متن کاملDiffractive results from CDF
We present a reference review of diffractive results from CDF for p̄p collisions at √ s = 540, 630, 1800, and 1960 GeV at the Tevatron, published in 19 PRL/PRD papers from 1994 to 2012. Both soft and hard diffractive results are included for single and/or double dissociation, central diffraction or double Pomeron exchange (where both the proton and antiproton remain intact), multi-gap diffractio...
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 کاملDouble scattering on the nucleus in the perturbative QCD
In the hard pomeron model consequences are studied which follow from the recently obtained form of the diffractive amplitude for the double scattering on the nucleus and the related EMC effect at small x. It is shown that at large Q2 the double scattering contribution to the latter falls as Q−0.6338 and in all probability dominates the total effect.
