Gluons in the proton and exclusive hard diffraction

Aharon LevyTel Aviv University

• Introduction

• data on exclusive vector meson electroproduction• sizes of gluon cloud

• sizes of photon configurations

• comparison to theory


QCD based fits can follow the data accurately, yield parton densities. BUT:• many free parameters (18-30) (only know how parton densities evolve)

• form of parameterisation fixed by hand (not given by theory)

F2 parton densities. * ‘sees’ partons. parton density increases with decreasing x.


From Pumplin, DIS05

There are signs that DGLAP (Q2

evolution) may be in trouble at small x (negative gluons, high 2 for fits).

Need better data to test whether our parton densities are reasonable. The structure function FL will provide an important test.

all is not well …

Can also get information on gluon density from exclusive hard processes.

Comparison to theory

• All theories use dipole picture

• Use QED for photon wave function

• Use models for VM wave function – usually take a Gaussian shape

• Use gluon density in the proton

• Some use saturation model, others take sum of nonperturbative + pQCD calculation, and some just start at higher Q2

• Most work in configuration space, MRT works in momentum space. Configuration space – puts emphasis on VM wave function. Momentum space – on the gluon distribution.

• W dependence – information on the gluon

• Q2 and R – properties of the wave function


ρ0 data (ZEUS) - Comparison to theory

• Martin-Ryskin-Teubner (MRT) – work in momentum space, use parton-hadron duality, put emphasis on gluon density determination. Phys. Rev. D 62, 014022 (2000).

• Forshaw-Sandapen-Shaw (FSS) – improved understanding of VM wf. Try Gaussian and DGKP (2-dim Gaussian with light-cone variables). Phys. Rev. D 69, 094013 (2004).

• Kowalski-Motyka-Watt (KMW) – add impact parameter dependence, Q2 evolution – DGLAP. Phys. Rev. D 74, 074016 (2006).

• Dosch-Ferreira (DF) – focusing on the dipole cross section using Wilson loops. Use soft+hard Pomeron for an effective evolution. Eur. Phys. J. C 51, 83 (2007).


ρ0 data (H1) - Comparison to theory

• Marquet-Peschanski-Soyez (MPS): Dipole cross section from fit to previous , and J/ data. Geometric scaling extended to non-forward amplitude. Saturation scale is t-dependent.

• Ivanov-Nikolaev-Savin (INS): Dipole cross section obtained from BFKL Pomeron. Use kt-unintegrated PDF and off-forward factor.

• Goloskokov-Kroll (GK): Factorisation of hard process and proton GPD. GPD constructed from standard PDF with skewing profile function.

KMW – good for Q2>2GeV2 miss Q2=0

DF – miss most Q2

FSS – Gauss better than DGKP

MRST99 and CTEQ6.5M

KMW - close

FSS:

Sat-Gauss – right W-dep.

wrong norm.

MRT:

CTEQ6.5M – slightly better in W-dep.


L/tot(Q2)


L/tot(W)

All models have mild W dependence. None describes all kinematic regions.


L,T (Q2+M2)

• Different Q2+M2 dependence of L and T (L0 at Q2=0)

• Best description of L by GK; T not described.


Density matrix elements - ,

• Fair description by GK

• r500 violates SCHC

Summary and conclusions• HERA data shows transition from soft to hard interactions.• The cross section is rising with W and its logarithmic derivative in W,

, increases with Q2.• The exponential slope of the t distribution decreases with Q2 and

levels off at about b = 5 GeV-2. Transverse size of gluon density (0.6 fm) inside the charge radius of the proton (0.8 fm).

• Proton vertex factorisation observed also in DIS.• The ratio of cross sections induced by longitudinally and

transversely polarised virtual photons increases with Q2, but is independent of W and t. The large configurations of the transversely polarised photon seem to be suppressed.

• The effective Pomeron trajectory has a larger intercept and smaller slope than those extracted from soft interactions.

• All these features are compatible with expectations of perturbative QCD.

• None of the models which have been compared to the measurements are able to reproduce all the features of the data.

• Precision measurements of exclusive vector meson electroproduction can help determine the gluon density in the proton.
