Diffractive Vector Meson Production

“Soft” processes well described by Regge Theory (Soft Pomeron) vs.“Hard” processes calculable in pQCD

Hard scale can be set by:• Q2 (electroproduction)● VM mass (J/ψ, ϒ)• t

Soft: Pomeron trajectory Hard: Gluon densities, evolution equations, s-channel helicity non-conservation

ρ - extracting the pomeron trajectory • ZEUS: measure at large W, in bins of t, combine with OMEGA data at low W• Fit σ ∝ W4(α(t)-1) in each t bin• Large lever arm, but large uncertainty due to relative normalisation ZEUS: Eur.Phys.J. C 14 (2000) 213

• H1: Determine trajectory from a single experiment• Smaller lever arm but NO relative normalistaion uncertainty H1 Preliminary 06-011 (DIS 2006)

J/ψ - extracting the pomeron trajectory

● Determine dependence of cross section on W in bins of t

• Fit σ ∝ W4(α(t)-1) in each t bin

Summary of trajectory measurements

• Intercept rises with scale

• Slope more difficult to measure

• Data consistent with being flat at ~0.13 GeV-2

• Data inconsistent with Donnachie-Landshoff slope of 0.25 GeV-2

Vector Mesons: Summary • Intercepts increase with scale - slopes universal?

• J/ψ production calculable in pQCD, sensitive to gluon densities and evolution

• SCHC violated for high |t| ρ0, no evidence for violation in J/ψ production

Deeply Virtual Compton Scattering

Scattering of a virtual photon off the proton producing a realphoton: e + p → e + γ + p

In principle very clean channel:

• Factorisation theorem: First diffractive process fully cal- culable in QCD

• No uncertainty due to VM wave-function

• Clean final state

DVCS and Bethe-Heitler

DVCS has the same final state as the Bethe-Heitler process:

• Interference gives access to amplitudes via asymmetries (angles, beam charge)

• DVCS cross section via sub- traction of B-H (calculable in QED) - Interference cancels in integration over angles

DVCS: Data selection

Expect one photon, one electron and nothing else in detector

Two samples:

• Electron in barrel, photon in backward direction (Mainly Bethe-Heitler)

• Photon in barrel, electron in backward direction (DVCS and Bethe-Heitler)

DVCS: Comparison with QCD Predictions

Comparison to NLO QCD:

• Band width reduced by t slope measurement• Good description of the data (CTEQ6)• Sensitive to PDF parametrisations?

Conclusion• Trajectory intercepts rise with scale, slope universal?

• Experimental data from vector mesons and DVCS are beginning to constrain the proton structure

• Complimentary to inclusive analyses: Gluons at low x and transverse degrees of freedom become accessible

• There is still a lot to be measured and to be calculated

Outlook• HERA II is coming to a close: ~ 400 pb-1 per experiment

• Running with half the proton energy until July (FL, B. Loehr after lunch): Lower W becomes accesible

In the H1 pipeline: • DVCS beam charge asymmetries • Large φ meson photo- production sample
