Small-x and Diffraction in DIS at HERA I Henri Kowalski DESY 12th CTEQ Summer School Madison - Wisconsin June 2004
H1 detector ZEUS detector Ep = 920 GeV, Ee = 27.5 GeV, # bunches = 189 Ip = 110 mA, Ie = 40 mA Linst= 2 x 1031 cm-2 s-1
ZEUS detector Q2 ~ 2 –100 GeV2 Q2 ~ 0.05-0.6 GeV2 Q2 - virtuality of the incoming photon W - CMS energy of the incoming photon-proton system x - Fraction of the proton momentum carried by struck quark x ~ Q2/W2
Infinite momentum frame Proton looks like a cloud of y – inelasticity Q2 = sxy Infinite momentum frame Proton looks like a cloud of noninteracting quarks and gluons F2 measures parton density in proton at scale Q2 F2 = f e2f x q(x,Q2)
there is a change of slope at small-x, near Q2 = 1 GeV2
Gluon density Gluon density dominates F2 for x < 0.01
Gluon density known with good precision at larger Q2. For Q2 ~1 GeV2 gluons tends to go negative. NLO, so not impossible BUT – cross sections such as L also negative !
MX - invariant mass of all particles seen in the central detector t - momentum transfer to the diffractively scattered proton
Diffractive Signature DY ~ log(W2 / M 2X) diff Non- diff Non-Diffraction Diffraction - Rapidity uniform, uncorrelated particle emission along the rapidity axis => probability to see a gap DY is ~ exp(-<n>DY) <n> - average multiplicity per unit of rapidity dN/ dM 2X ~ 1/ M 2X => dN/dlog M 2X ~ const
Slow Proton Frame incoming virtual photon fluctuates into a quark-antiquark pair which in turn emits a cascade-like cloud of gluons Transverse size of the quark-antiquark cloud is determined by r ~ 1/Q ~ 2 10-14cm/ Q (GeV) Diffraction is similar to the elastic scattering: replace the outgoing photon by the diffractive final state r , J/Y or X = two quarks Rise of sgptot with W is a measure of radiation intensity
Radiation process emission of gluons is ordered in rapidities QCD Toy Model: integrals over transverse momenta are independent of each other Rise of sgptot with W is a measure of radiation intensity

GBW model, in spite of its compelling success has some obvious shortcomings: The treatment of QCD evolution is only rudimentary remedy => incorporate DGLAP into dipole cross-section J. Bartels, K. Golec-Biernat, H. Kowalski The dipole cross section is integrated over the transverse coordinate although the gluon density is expected to be a strongly varying function of the impact parameter. Recently: BFKL motivated Ansatz proposed by Iancu, Itakura, Munier
