Diffraction in e-p collisions (experiment/phenomenology/theory)

We investigate whether NLO BFKL evolution is capable to describe the energy dependence of the exclusive photo-production cross-section of vector mesons J/Psi and Upsilon on protons. Our description is based on available NLO BFKL fits of the proton impact factor in inclusive DIS, which allow us to construct the necessary scattering amplitude at zero momentum transfer t=0. Assuming an...

Diffraction in e-p collisions (experiment/phenomenology/theory)

The problem of the timelike Pomeron coupling to light mesons and photons is considered in light of the available data on high-energy meson-proton and gamma-proton scattering. Possible correspondence of f2(1950) resonance to the Pomeron ground state is argued.
