Paul Laycock Diffractive PDFs BLOIS 2007 Page 12 H DPDF Fit - Overview IP component: Fit  IP (0) (x IP dependence). Simultaneously, fit 5 parameters of DPDFs (β and Q 2 dependences) using NLO QCD. a IP (0) DPDF IR component: Fit n IR one parameter for normalisation. All flux parameters taken from previous H1 data. PDFs taken from Owens-p.

Paul Laycock Diffractive PDFs BLOIS 2007 Page 13 IP component: Fit  IP (0) (x IP dependence). Simultaneously, fit 5 parameters of DPDFs (β and Q 2 dependences) using NLO QCD. Fit is stable with variations of, e.g.  max – the maximum value of β allowed in the fit. Fit stable for Q 2 min > 8.5 GeV 2. Fit all data with: Parameterise quark singlet z  z,Q 0 2 ) and gluon zg  z,Q 0 2 ) densities, where z is parton momentum fraction (=  for QPM). Parameterisation used is and (gluon insensitive to B g ) Results reproducible with Chebyshev polynomials. H DPDF Fit - Details a IP (0) DPDF

Paul Laycock Diffractive PDFs BLOIS 2007 Page 15 A Closer Look at the High z Region We have only singlet quarks, so DGLAP evolution equation for F 2 D …. At high , relative error on derivative grows, contribution to evolution becomes important … sensitivity to gluon is lost +

Paul Laycock Diffractive PDFs BLOIS 2007 Page 16 Compare to diffractive dijets in DIS We can compare the predictions of Fit A and Fit B with the experimental measurement of diffractive dijets in DIS This process is particularly sensitive to the gluon

Paul Laycock Diffractive PDFs BLOIS 2007 Page 17 Compare to diffractive dijets in DIS At low z IP (< 0.3) Fit A and Fit B are similar The data are in good agreement with the predictions, consistent with factorisation (more on factorisation in A. Bonato’s talk) At high z IP the diffractive dijet data clearly prefer Fit B

Paul Laycock Diffractive PDFs BLOIS 2007 Page 18 Combined fit of dijet and inclusive data The diffractive dijet data can be used as an additional constraint in a NLO QCD fit procedure Details similar to the inclusive case but can now consrtain 3 parameters for the gluon Very good simultaneous fit of both inclusive and dijet data achieved

Paul Laycock Diffractive PDFs BLOIS 2007 Page 20 Summary ● A wealth of inclusive data from H1 and Zeus using LPS, M X and LRG methods (I didn’t have time to show it all!) ● Proton vertex factorisation holds: M Y, t and x IP dependences factorise from β and Q 2 ● DPDFs from NLO QCD fits to , Q 2 dependences (H DPDF Fits A+B) – Quark singlet very well constrained (~5%) – Gluon constrained to ~15%, but poorly known at high z ● Combined fit to inclusive and dijet data finally constrains both the quark and the gluon to similar precision H Jets DPDF to appear soon – use it!
